The simple fix to get you going is to change your ``if __name__ ==
'main':`` statement to ``if __name__ == '__main__':`` (add two
underscores on each side of "main").  To debug this for yourself, try
putting ``print(__name__)`` right before your ``if __name__ ...``
line, and see what is printed when you run it in different ways.

Hope this helps, and if you need any more help or a more in-depth
explanation of what's going on, please don't hesitate to ask :)
