    Interesting question, thanks, Steve
    Learned something.
    just wondering where one would use this.

    You use this to ensure a module can be run standalone or imported. If I import this, this code doesn't run

    if  __name__ == __main__:
         Dothing()

    However, if I had a function above this, I could still call it. It's a great trick for test/debugging a function. Put something in this call to test your specific case.
