Alan Gates commented on PIG-1479:
---------------------------------
+1 to using a fuzzy parser. I agree that being able to have the Python UDFs in
the same file is important, and in user reviews others have voiced the same
opinion. But forcing Python users to have a main function is going to seem
very unnatural to them. So I think the fuzzy parsing is the best compromise.

> functions defined in the same script available as UDFs.
> This is a spin off of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-928 which
