I always use
if "__main__" == main:
__main__()
…and earlier in the code:
def __main__():
while True:
pass
main = "__main__"
This helps to prevent people from arbitrarily running my code as a library or executable when I don’t went them to.
it’s often the people saying “don’t listen to all the drama” that are making drama.
chill out. the guy has relevant concerns, and they matter deeply to him. …and they matter deeply to us, the users of Linux. Rust in the kernel is a good step forward, but processes need to be in place not just for code, but for people who will be dealing with a new language in their formerly-c-only environment.
win hearts and minds, don’t just kick the nest and blame the hornets if they sting you. recognize needs, even of those who are stubborn, and address them.
It serves a fervent purpose and does it well, even if it’s not something I *prefer.
