Execute the module as a script

We can use a module as a script and execute or import it to the other modules and use it. For better understanding see the below example

python

#app.py
import sales
sales.count()

python

#sales.py
print("import module: " + __name__)
def count():
    pass

If execute app.py

Output

import module: sales

If execute sales.py

Output

import module: __main__

For use module as script or import into the other module we change sales.py

python

print("import module: " + __name__)
def count():
    pass
if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("Use as Script")

if execute sales.py

Output

import module: __main__
Use as Script

if execute app.py

Output

import module: sales
