Probably not, its more likely to be a small function that checks 
its input parameters and calls one of the 3 worker functions.
Thats a more user friendly method too since it givers users of 
the module the chance to use the internal functions in different 
ways if they don't want the top level convenience function...

I assume your main is called from within an if name== main clause?
