the "if __name__" statement checks the name of the module.  if you run
Python file as a script, by passing a filename to the python interpreter, the
__name__ variable is set to  "__main__".  if you import a file as a module,
the __name__ is the name of the module, not "__main__".

if you want main.py to do something, move that code to main.py (or move
it into a function, and call it from main.py)
