If you want those functions to be called each time your module gets imported you have to apply calls out of the "if __name__ ..." statement. If your module is, for certain reasons, always the __main__ module and never gets imported there is no obvious preference because behaviour will be the same. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
