Ever wonder what Python's "if name == main" construct does?

This Python tutorial will quickly explain what the if name == main condition does when added to your code.

The quick explanation?

Any time you want a single-point of entry for your Python apps, just put the code that kicks off your app in this block:

if _name_ == '__main__':

Then, when you run your Python app as a standalone application, the code in the if __name__=="__main__" block runs.

This is a smart approach if you want either run or import Python code as a library or a component.

It's similar to the void main() syntax of Java. C and C++ has similar constructs.

So there you go, that's the answer to the age old question of what does Python's if __name__=="__main__": do.
