In addition to what others have answered, if the code in question has any
variables then I'll prefer to put it inside a function and call the
function. This ensures that the variables are local and not going. It's a

While teaching my introductory course in Python, I occasionally see
submissions containing the following two program lines, even before
I teach about functions and modules:
if __name__ = '__main__':
... main()
When I ask about it, I hear things like they got these from other instructors,
or from
