feature request: configure __name__

[qmax]

While evaluating buffer, it may be not appropriative to run tests or whatever is intended to do when __name__ == __main__
It would be convenient to have an option to change value of the __name__

Hi,

__name__ is set by python itself.

Don't consider it an python-mode task to interfere with python's internals.

OTOH might consider your request as for an python-test-mode, which does an import, not sure.

Hi,

AFAIU running tests by default is one of the purposes that python-feature.
Don't think we should circumvent it from the Emacs Lisp side, which would lead into confusion and trouble.

Are several ways not to run tests:

- don't evaluate the section tests are called
- don't bind tests that way, rather make them called expressingly

Setting that report at `opinion', a way closing it.

Thanks taking part anyway,

Andreas

Will provide an option. When `t', code inside this block is not executed by C-c C-c

[Andreas Roehler (a-roehler)]

Setting `py-if-name-main-permission-p' to nil should suppress execution of code inside blocks started by

if __name__== '__main__'
