simiel/whats_with__name__-in-Python

Exploring if __name__ == "__main__":

• This repository is all I did trying to undersand the behaviour of the name variable.

There are three files:

• simiel.py [The main file]
• simiel2
• simiel3

1. simiel.py

Running simiel.py will import the two remaining python files The function and print statement from simiel2 will be fully run the function from simiel3 will be available to be called but not called because of the "if-statement" all remaining code in simiel.py will be run as well.

2. simiel2.py

Running simiel2.py will run its function and print statement

3. simiel3.py

Running simiel3.py will run it's function. A sweet hello from my little girl, Naa Atswei 😄

How to run the code

• 1. make sure you have python3 and an IDE installed
• 2. Clone the repo from "https://github.com/simiel/whats_with__name__-in-Python.git"
• 3. run python simiel.py from the command line in the directory.

Kindly feel free clone, edit, have fun, drop a star and share the repo to help others ;)
