how to run the "main" section of another module ?

[Stef Mientki]

hello,

when I''m working in a library,
and want to test some of the library functions,
I need to switch to a main application,
(which has a normal main-section)
and run that.

If the library is simply,
I add a main section to the library,
so no problem.

But if the library requires a lot of overhead,
I want to run some main program,
that has a main section,
and uses my library under construction.

So how do I call from within the library module,
in a main section in that library module,
a main in another module ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

Then you can call main() from another module for testing purposes.
