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?

I definitely do for quick scripts, but I try to break this habit. The biggest advantage of def main() is that variables are local and not accessible to other functions defined in the same script, which can sometimes help catch bugs or typos.
