I mean yeah with no context that looks weird A/F, but given a couple details it’s fairly self-evident why it be like it do.

1. Python doesn’t need a main function. It’ll just start running any top level code. This is nice for beginners learning programming because there’s no scaffolding or anything to set up. It just do the thing.
2. python uses double underscores (usually called “dunder”) to mark “special” things. __name__ is a global variable containing the name of the current module. There’s a couple more like __file__ containing the filename of the current module.
3. If you run a file directly __name__ gets set to "__main__". If it got set to something more sensible like "main" you couldn’t really call a file main.py without this breaking. Right now this only breaks for files called __main__.py but luck would have it that calling a file __main__.py already has a special meaning which makes these uses not clash.
4. Sometimes you want code to only run if a module is run but not when it is imported. Checking if __name__ is set to __main__ is the easiest way to do this.

Python for sure has a bunch of weirdness, but it all does mesh together into a rather nice programming language.

Canon megatank is pretty great too. The only complaint I have is that it’s weirdly insistent on having photo paper in the back paper entry, and not in the drawer. Other than that the thing just prints. No cartridge chip shenanigans either because there’s no cartridges, and besides the ink is actually affordable compared to cartridges.

No it isn’t. Go try it without including any of this guys code. Don’t be a troll.

Because whoever wrote this went to great lengths to make it work. It’s by no means a feature of python. It’s a feature of their code.

There’s no chance this doesn’t turn out to be, among other things, an autism detector.

It’s really easy to make a gigantic mess using git if you don’t know what you’re doing. As soon as you learn to keep your history mostly linear all those issues go away.

Or perhaps clinicians are generally unfamiliar with the lived experience of ADHD. I’m diagnosed, and nothing any medical professional told me has helped jack shit so far.

There are in fact many questions asked, and any doctor can refuse for any reason.
