I want to thank you for this package. I have used it when writing test 
modules for idlelib modules and aiming for 100% coverage forces me to 
really understand the code tested to hit all the conditional lines.

One request: ignore "if __name__ == '__main__':" clauses at the end of 
files, which cannot be run under coverage.py, so 100% coverage is 
reported as 100% instead of 9x%.
