Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

Diabolical
isn't that just normal usage? ..or, did I just whoosh and you were sarcastically saying that?
It is normal usage. Though personally I'd probably make another "main" function, to avoid declaring a bunch of global variables
Yeah. I like using
main()that way too. It's usually just a high-level function that handles globals relevant to running in standalone and calling other functions to do work.indeed.
People used to think it was normal to beat children. Just because it’s normal doesn’t mean it isn’t diabolical.
oh. I never really thought of myself as diabolical. Since I guess by that definition I am, maybe I should learn Python.
