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

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

For anyone wondering "Dunder" means double underscore

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

ty

thank you!

Incredible

Short and sweet,thanks

C L E A N E S T 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

finally! an explanation to the use not complicated mechanism!

Finally. A very simple yet straightforward explanation. Thank you

Possibly the most concise and clear explanation of this variable!

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

Which Font are you using?

gawd I love you

What theme are you using on vscode?

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

Interesting . . . .

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

amazing..! Thank you for the video!

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

As a beginner, i am confused fr

god, i have finally understood it

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

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

that is super simple. Really amazing!

Bro you are awesome

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

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

Simple and useful explanation. Thanks. :)

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

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 was the explanation i needed. thank you

Thanks a lot. Got it now.

Thanks, Awesome crystal clear explanation

all the 30 min videos and this was the best

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.

That’s a very useless example

I need the name of that theme please

Nice fact

Bro Your the best

Well_paced explanations...

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

Hey do you have any course on udemy for python

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