if __name__ == 'main': & passing an arg to a class object

[gtb]

The lines

if __name__ == 'main':
   someClass().fn()

appear at the end of many examples I see. Is this to cause a .class
file to be generated?


The last line of the sample below has a string parameter. When I
mimicked this I got an error stating that the class constructor did
not take an arg, which seems correct.

Thanks,
