I would suggest giving them the whole if __name__ block as boilerplate

instead encourage them to do this:

main()
You only need "if __name__ == '__main__'" if you want
a .py file that can be used as either a module or a
main program. Most of the time you *don't* need that.
I consider it advanced usage that beginners shouldn't
be confused with.
