Python: Import Class: how to disable automatic initialization?

Question

I created the mySimpleFile.py file with class "MySimple"

class MySimple (object):
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        print("from Class",self.name)
 
print ("I do not want this automatically!!!")

Now I want to import this class to my another file.

import mySimpleFile
 
print("bla bla bla")

So I get this:

I do not want this automatically!!! 
bla bla bla

So how can I disable this initialization?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Put it in an if __name__ block so that it's only executed if it's the "main" script file, and not if it's imported:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print ("I do not want this automatically!!!")

Answer 2

Use the following idiom:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print ("I do not want this automatically!!!")

This feature is specifically there to run a portion of code when the file is run directly, not when it's imported.

Answer 3

add

if __name__ "__main__":
    print("I don't want this")

So when you'll import this file, the print won't be execute because it's not the main file
