question about if __name__=="__main__"

[deanhystad]

I'll wager on the error being a NameError caused by moving an assignment from global to function scope. Your program used to look like this:

def func():
    print(a)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    a = 5
    func()

And you changed it to this:

def func():
    print(a)

def main():
    a = 5
    func()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Error:
NameError: name 'a' is not defined

Am I close?
