Also, do y’all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

Looks at all the Python scripts in my bin folder that I wrote.
Never heard of
def main(): pass if __name__ == '__main__': main()?
Heard of it, was too lazy to do it that way.
To be fair I now do it that way, but not when I was learning Python.
What is the point of this?
Not having tons of code in one if statement, but in a function.
And scope. Variables declared in the if can be read everywhere, variables declared in the function are limited to that function.
I thought you were saying to literally use
def main(): pass, that’s why I was confusedOh, no, that’s just the usual placeholder. Though, … would also be valid iirc, and would fit better as a “TODO” placeholder
custom bin folders are a realm no God dares to tread
I can and I do
