:mod:`__main__` --- Top-level script environment

??
.. module:: __main__
   :synopsis: The environment where the top-level script is run.

This module represents the (otherwise anonymous) scope in which the interpreter's main program executes --- commands read either from standard input, from a script file, or from an interactive prompt. It is this environment in which the idiomatic "conditional script" stanza causes a script to run:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
