Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

Does everyone call the function of the script main? I never use main(), just call the function what the program is supposed to do, this program calculates the IBNR? The function is called calculate_IBNR(), then at the end of the script if name = 'main': calculate_IBNR(test_params) to test de script, then is imported into a tkinter script to be converter to an exe with pyinstaller
All of mine are called
do_thing()because after a few days of working on it, the scope creep always means the original name was wrong anyway.
