I'm still semi new to python and all over the place in source code, I see this code:
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
What does it mean exactly? Is it something I should be using in every program I write or just occasionally?

1if you import your code as a module, your code will execute your main() code. – lichenbo Jun 13 '13 at 12:18
