    The __name__ variable is made available by the runtime. It’s the name of the current module, the name under which it was imported. "__main__" is a string. It’s not special, it’s just a string. It also happens to be the name of the main script when it is executed.

    The if __name__ == "__main__": mechanism is the common way of doing something when a .py file is executed directly, but not when it is imported as a module.
