Python needs an actual default function (europe.pub)

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 intended this an sarcastic example; I think it's worse than putting the main outside of the branch because of the extra indent-level. It does have an upside that the main() doesn't exist if you try import this as an module.

I thought confusion about indent levels was the whole point of using python

But it feels like main function should not be indented
