Python needs an actual default function (lemmy.ml)

Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

One thing I really dislike about Python is the double underscore thing, just really looks ugly to me and feels excessive. Just give me my flow control characters that aren't whitespace

I'm at peace with balanced underscores (like "dunder name equals dunder main") and the internal ones for snake case, but in the unbalanced ones (prefixing unders and dunders for pseudo-private) still bug me. But at least, conventionally, it's visually the same idea as Hungarian notation.
