If you're writing a library that's meant to be imported by other scripts, then that makes sense. I tend to use main() for things that are done when your script is run as a stand-alone program. That usually involves things like parsing command-line arguments, and configuring logging, neither of which you'd want to do in an importable library. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
