Main Guard in Python

What this snippet does

The __name__ guard prevents code from running when a module is imported, executing only when run directly.

Expected output

Running directly

Why practise typing this

Typing modules & imports code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
