if __name__ == '__main__' for Python beginners 📥

if _name_ == __main__: (this script can be imported OR run standalone)
Functions and classes in this module can be reused without the main block of code executing
Good practice (code is modular, helps readability, leaves no global variables, avoids unintended execution)
Ex. library = Import library for functionality. When running library directly, display a help page.
--------- script1.py ---------
This file can run standalone or be imported
def favorite_food(food):
print(f"Your favorite food is {food}")
def main():
print("This is script1")
favorite_food("pizza")
print("Goodbye!")
if _name_ == '__main__':
main()
--------- script2.py ---------
This file should run only standalone
from script1 import *
def favorite_drink(drink):
print(f"Your favorite drink is {drink}")
print("This is script2")
favorite_food("sushi")
favorite_drink("coffee")
print('Goodbye!')

*You can also run a script by right clicking within that script and selecting 'Run'. I forgot about that shortcut while filming this video.*

If bro code only has 1 follower...that's me
If bro code has millions of followers... I'm one of them
If bro code has no followers... I'm dead.

As long as you follow him, it doesn’t matter if you’re dead, since it saves 👍

if ___name___ == "__main__":
print("ok")
else:
delete system32

[@SxitxmaNxB]

[@_EnderTv]

@@SxitxmaNxB yt italized the _ for absolutely no reason
