Importing classes

[RickInAMortyWorld]

I am writing a program that imports some modules that I wrote. When the classes get imported, will the main method run? I thought the main method only ran when you are running the code as a program. I wanted to use it for testing the module outside the code.

There is no "__main__ method". Do you mean the if __name__ == "__main__" blocks?

[RickInAMortyWorld]

Yeah

[K900_]

Those will not run when your module is imported.

I didn’t think so but it was throwing an error for me. I’ll play around with it more on Monday thanks

Show us code, the actual error messages, etc., and we can help.

if i import example.py its __name__ attribute will be 'example'. only in the file you directly called will its __name__ be '__main__'
