Nice ;)
Well, the program I'm writting now is a prototype so it's going to be
rewritten anyway, but right now I just want a convinient way to split
the source code into smaller chunks.

	print "Hello..."

hello()

It will not work unless I do

# xxx.py
import __main__

__main__.hello()

Which is sth I really want to avoid ;)
