Python needs an actual default function
(lemmy.ml)
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Idk, I guess I should ask why python needs a default function? If I'm running it as a script with commandline invocation I just copy and paste the if main namespace thing from stack overflow and it works as I intended. It also works if I invoke via python my_script.py $args, so I don't really see why I should philosophically care about how other languages that I'm not using do it.
Because if another consumer imports it you don't want it running the main method
I can import my_script2.py into my_script.py it doesn't run the main method unless I specifically invoke my_script2.main() though.
