I kinda like it. Definitely +0.0, maybe +0.5. On Thu, Nov 12, 2020 at 2:46 PM Matt Wozniski <godlyg...@gmail.com> wrote:

I do this quite often myself. There's some little functionality that is useful from the command-line, but some supporting functions within it, or some more nuanced version of calling those arguments is also useful in larger projects. I know there are other ways to achieve that purpose, but for quick-and-easy, the __name__=='__main__' is something I do often. I don't think this would break anything. Yes, the slightly more verbose version would need to be maintained forever. But the semantics of __main__ being implicitly defined when scripts are run is easy to explain. -- The dead increasingly dominate and strangle both the living and the not-yet born. Vampiric capital and undead corporate persons abuse the lives and control the thoughts of homo faber. Ideas, once born, become abortifacients against new conceptions.
