I think I may have used the multiple __main__ blocks occasionally, for reasons Chris notes. Like I want something configured BEFORE a function is defined (maybe a global that only makes sense when run as script). However, I haven't done it for a long while. I think when I was younger I didn't value encapsulation sufficiently. That said, I don't want the capability to change. There are lots of things I don't do stylistically, but I don't want striken from the language.
