Matthew,

you can always do the following:


def main():
    Do all your stuff here, call functions et cetera.

def spam1(...)
    whatever

def spam2(...)
    whatever

main()


And as people often recommend: Change the last line to

if __name__=='__main__':
  main()

which will invoke main() automagically only if you invoke your script
is executed directly, but ignores it if your script is imported.
