:mod:`__main__` --- Top-level script environment

================================================

.. module:: __main__

   :synopsis: The environment where the top-level script is run.

This module represents the (otherwise anonymous) scope in which the

interpreter's main program executes --- commands read either from standard

input, from a script file, or from an interactive prompt.  It is this

environment in which the idiomatic "conditional script" stanza causes a script

to run::

   if __name__ == "__main__":

       main()
