It is not an attipattern. It is how Python works (note that import, def and class are statements executable at runtime), and it is what you normally expect from a scripting language. Now, sometimes you want to use the same file for two purposes: as a module and as an executable script. You need a way to distinguish these cases. And __name__ == "__main__" is an idiomatic way to do it in Python. But if you do not need to mix executable and module in one file you do not need to use it. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/HDSLA7LEYLN33CXHEUNXHJW5R6AGDCKW/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
