Module doesn't run without dunders around main.py

Hiya, I wasn't able to run screenplain as expected until I renamed main.py to __main__.py.

That does not sound right, and doesn't make sense. (__init__.py is a magic file name in Python, but __main__.py has no significance.) After installing Screenplain with pip install screenplain you should be able to just run the command screenplain to run it.

Hiya, Yup, that didn't work; I got an error in the Windows terminal that said it couldn't find __main__.py; I can give you the stack trace if you'd like. Not sure why! But I renamed it and was able to get it to work. Not sure why that would be an issue, but there it is.

Can you attach the commands and all output?
