The send buffer behavior doesn't quite follows the principle of least
surprise as currently implemented: one would expect that the
if-name-main part will be executed the same everything else is. While I
agree this is a matter of taste, I think it would be nice to add a
global customization option for people that prefer the standard "execute
all" behavior as a default.

Cheers

Hi Carlos,

I agree that the least surprising thing to do would be to send the
"if-name-main" block, but in the other hand this block generally
contains the execution code for the module and when working on it you
generally don't want to send that to the shell (one of the reasons may
be safety).  So I think the current way of enabling this by just adding
a prefix argument to `python-shell-send*` commands is better than adding
yet another customization.



Cheers,
Fabián
