Python needs an actual default function
(lemmy.ml)
Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?
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.
