Python - Resources

• The Python Standard Library
  • [[main — Top-level code environment]]
    • On sys.exit(main()): “Since the call to main is wrapped in sys.exit(), the expectation is that your function will return some value acceptable as an input to sys.exit(); typically, an integer or None (which is implicitly returned if your function does not have a return statement).”
    • “__main__.py will be executed when the package itself is invoked directly from the command line using the -m flag.”. Example: python -m bandclass
    • You can import __main__ to do useful things like thing in dir(__main__) checks. There’s special handling in the import system as described in Special considerations for main
