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?

Never heard of

def main():
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

?

Not having tons of code in one if statement, but in a function.

I thought you were saying to literally use def main(): pass, that’s why I was confused

Oh, no, that's just the usual placeholder. Though, ... would also be valid iirc, and would fit better as a "TODO" placeholder
