Which means there's code at the module level.  Tell the users to put that
into a function, then you can import the module without executing this
main loop.

And don't do a * import because your users might use names that the
importing module uses already and which would get replaced by the * import.

No.  In order to get them the module must be imported.  Otherwise the
names and the objects they refer to don't exist.
