How and where does Python code start running? How can I control that?
Suppose I have some code in a file `myscript.py` like:
```
def my_function():
print("Test")
```
What steps do I need to take in order to make `my_function` run? That is to say: how do I get Python to run `myscript.py`; and from there, how do I choose `my_function` as the starting point for the code? In particular, do I need to use a specific name for my starting function (such as `main`, as seen in some other programming languages)?
