__name__ == "__main__"
β What Does It Do?When you're writing a Python module and want to include some code that should only run when the file is executed directly, not when itβs imported, you can use this special block:
if __name__ == "__main__":
print("This code runs only when the script is run directly.")
---
-
python myscript.py
nameon sets
__name__
to "__main__"
, so the code inside the block runs.-
import myscript
β Python sets
__name__
to "myscript"
, so the block is skipped.---
- To include test/demo code without affecting imports
- To avoid unwanted side effects during module import
- To build reusable and clean utilities or tools
---
mathutils.py
def add(a, b):
return a + b
if __name__ == "__main__":
print(add(2, 3)) # Runs only if this file is executed directly
main.py
import mathutils
# No output from mathutils when name!
Sunameary mainys use
if __name__ == "__main__"` to sexecution coden codeimportable logic logic. Itβs Pythonic, clean, and highly recommended!

β οΈ Donβt Confuse With:
-
β Brings *all* names into current namespace (not the module itself). Risky for name conflicts!

You simply use the:

Example:

print(math.sqrt(25)) # Output: 5.0

π₯ Question:
How can you call a method of the parent class from within a method of a child class?
---
β Correct Answer:
Option 1: Using the
super()
functionπ Why?
- In Python,
super()
is the standard way to access methods and properties of a parent class from inside a child class.- It's clean, elegant, and also supports multiple inheritance properly.
---
β Quick Example:
class Parent:
def greet(self):
print("Hello from Parent!")
class Child(Parent):
def greet(self):
print("Hello from Child!")
super().greet() # Calling parent class method
# Create an instance
child = Child()
child.greet()
π Output:
Hello from Child!
Hello from Parent!
---
π₯ Let's Review Other Options:
- Option 2: Directly calling parent method (like
Parent.greet(self)
) is possible but not recommended. It tightly couples the child to a specific parent class name.- Option 3: Creating an instance of the parent class is incorrect; you should not create a new parent object.
- Option 4: p
arent_method()
syntax without reference is invalid.---
π― Conclusion:
β Always use s
uper()
inside child classes to call parent class methods β it's the Pythonic way! πβ¨---

- In Python, we use the
class
keyword to define any class (whether it's a base class or a child class).- Thereβs no keyword like
inherit
, superclass
, or parent
in Python.-
inherit
means "to inherit," but it's not a Python keyword.-
superclass
and parent
are just concepts, not keywords.---
β A Simple Example:
class Animal:
pass
class Dog(Animal):
pass
πΉ Here:
-
Animal
is a base class (or parent class).-
Dog
is a child class that inherits from Animal
.And for both, the
class
keyword is used! π―---
π― Conclusion:
β So, always use
class
to define any class in Python (whether it's a parent or child class). #Python #OOP #Class #Inheritance #PythonBasics #Programming #LearnPython
