Documentation

The following sentence in the section about idiomatic usage of __main__.py seems to be missing one word:

Instead, those files are kept short, functions to execute from other modules

I suspect the correct meaning is:

Instead, those files are kept short, importing functions to execute from other modules

I also suggest using the uncountable form of "content" in the first sentence:

The content of main.py typically isn’t fenced with an if __name__ == '__main__' block.
