In addition to what's been said I add:

It separates all the global activities: defining of functions and 
classes, importing modules, etc. from the "doing" the actual task of the 
program.

It also ensures that the defining all the classes and functions happens 
before referencing them (less "bookkeeping" for me).

These two allow me to write the main program first, and follow it with 
all the global stuff.
