I would agree with the previous post but also add that I've stopped calling the main function "main()" and usually give it a more descriptive name, such as "bake_cookies()" or whatever. I think that that makes it clearer what it's doing when used as a library and the 'if __name__ == '__main__'" already implies that it is the "main" script function.
