		Or call it as a function:

		Or if you're on a shell, you can also type:

if  __name__ =='__main__':
	print('START test run    _____________________________________________________________________________')
	print()
	print ('Hello world!  ', Gen.MAXINT)

I use the class Gen to start with programming a new code in python3. During the exercises at the University python workshops I have different exercises to solve but for every function/program i need the almost same 'headers' therefore a generic function seems to be quite useful for me.
