how to mimik a main() function to start a program with entry point?

[kmsmgill at gmail.com]

def main():
    print "Hello"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Simply verify __name__ and run any function from there. This will cause
main() to be run if the script is run directly. I haven't used py2exe,
so I'm not sure if it still applies.
