I keep getting this error when I run the script:

Error: line 1: name 'main' is not defined
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
NameError: name 'main' is not defined

main has the double underscores and quotation marks on either side. github seems to be using that syntax to bold it :/

Any thoughts on what the problem could be?
