I did not know about this.

It would be a nice thing to add to 'Learning Python' (unless I missed it), and to some web Python howtos. It gets the point across.

(tongue in cheek) There's no if __name__ == '__main__'. This doesn't seem pychecker / GSG compliant - importing a module shouldn't run anything. And how do they unit test an entire module?
