Thanks for the suggestion from both.

I am not quite understand the above though.

I took your approach and do it like this :

local __name__
if type(package.loaded["my_module"]) ~= "userdata"
then
__name__ = "__main__"
module("my_module")
...things I write

then at the end, the pythonic way:

if __name__ == "__main__" then <self test> end

Won't this also hardcode the module name in the module
file, right there in the module() call ?
