Actually no. When you *import* a file its name is set to the file name(or more acurately the module name) When you run a file from the command line like python Hope.py then __name__ is set to __main__ > but why would I want to do this if __name__ == '__main__': So this line lets you create code that is executed when the file is run from the command line but not when the file is imported.
