Question regarding style/design..

[Wells Oliver]

Sometimes I see relatively small application, generally task scripts,
written as essentially a list of statements. Other times, I see them neatly
divided into functions and then the "if __name__ == '__main__':" convention.
Is there a preference? Is there an... application scope such that the
preference shifts from the former to the latter? I understand the use of the
__name__ == 'main' convention for building unit tests, but I'm mixed on
using it in scripts/small applications.
Thanks for any thoughts!
