Add THIS To Your Python Scripts! if __name__ == "__main__"

This is the simplest and clearest explanation I've come across for this. Thank you!

Hey do you have any course on udemy for python

Or you can remove the method call in Script1, import in Script2 and call the do_something() function from there.

Well_paced explanations...

Bro Your the best

Nice fact

I need the name of that theme please

That’s a very useless example

watched a few other videos of this topic and yours was the most simple to understand, thank you!

I wish you had a full Python course video, would love to watch you guide us through from the very basic beginnings to more complex stuff in Python.

all the 30 min videos and this was the best

Thanks, Awesome crystal clear explanation

Thanks a lot. Got it now.

this was the explanation i needed. thank you

or you could simply not call the function in the module from which you import? can someone please explain to me why is it needed? I guess I know what it does, syntax and whatnot but simply put, if youre not calling the functions/methods in not main module, why would you even use it when it doesnt run automatically?

Edit: okay I see it, useful only when you need to use it as a standalone script for testing so you can have bunch of function calls ready at hand otherwise no need if you aint calling it and why would you even call it or make print statements there since thats whats main module for

this is the third video on _name_ that i watched and it was the icing on the cake. i now fully understand what the purpose is, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get it. You're calling the function in both files but you only want it to run in one? What's the point of that? When would you ever need this?
Point is, any code you want to run in only one file should only be written in that file. This can be applied similarly to variables knowing their own name.

i have a dumb question.
why dont just remove " do_something() "

Simple and useful explanation. Thanks. :)

I wish there was a keyword for this. *if "__name__" == "__main__":* is just such an eye-sore.

ikd python but wouldn't it be easier to add a guard clause before the "main execution" testing if it's NOT "__main__" and exiting if that's the case? so that your code isn't all indented

Bro you are awesome

that is super simple. Really amazing!

When you learning, sometimes you just need little videos to have a whole new understanding of what you're doing :D thank you so much

Why wouldn't you remove the call to do something in script1 instead? Well I guess there are other real life complex situations where this is useful. Thanks it was straightforward

god, i have finally understood it

As a beginner, i am confused fr

What theme do you use for VSCode? It looks so good

amazing..! Thank you for the video!

I wish i saw this video LAST NIGHT when I was doing my homework and could not for the life of me figure out how to not get my code to run twice... well you live and you learn lmao

Interesting . . . .

100% i'm not gonna put this in ALL my scripts. i'm going to make sure to only use them in scripts that need to be imported

What theme are you using on vscode?

gawd I love you

Which Font are you using?

I watched several videos yet still don't understand. my low iq

Possibly the most concise and clear explanation of this variable!

Finally. A very simple yet straightforward explanation. Thank you

finally! an explanation to the use not complicated mechanism!

C L E A N E S T 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Short and sweet,thanks

Incredible

thank you!

I think main guards are good to implemented in every script.

For anyone wondering "Dunder" means double underscore

My question is how are you getting Python to output under Output and not the Terminal?
