!! Starting Point

We begin with a {{main.py}} file (defining a __module__ called "main") containing just a single comment line:
%%filename main.py %%
%%python {{{
# do something intelligent here
}}}
%%

The file {{main.py}} is special in MicroPython, in the sense that when you power-on the device and/or press the reset button, the {{main.py}} file is executed. It's the ''entry point'' for executing any application in Python.
