def foo():
print('foo')
def bar():
print('bar')
# this would be your 'main'
def enter_here():
foo()
bar()
if __name__ == '__main__':
enter_here()in python more important for the structure of the code/execution/imports is the use of if __name__ == '__main__': pattern/block. E.g. the above can be justdef foo():
print('foo')
def bar():
print('bar')
if __name__ == '__main__':
foo()
bar()i.e. what you would put in your 'main' function it just can be inside if __name__ == '__main__': block. Using 'main' function doesn't hurt but is more or less a reflection of your programming habits/patterns from other languages.
