No worries.

I find that useful too. I've got a few modules-that-implement-commands
that look like this:

  def main(argv):
    ... parse args, do stuff ...
    return exit_status

  ... functions, classes etc ...

  if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv))

It seems fairly effective for keeping the top level logic up the top.

It's better, when you're riding with someone you don't know so well, to stick
to the inside line - it's easier to avoid the bits...
