In many of the tutorial examples ive come across, the main code's program is never at the top level, but always in a function of some sort. i understand why but, there is always a different way used to access the main code, i want to know which is the best.main() main's code #top level main() they call the main program by simply calling the main function. I've also seen a more complcated: if __name__ == '__main__': main() the 2nd one usually includes a lot more code then i showed. can you please tell me why different methods are used to access the main code? is it just preference or is one way actually better coding practice? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
