Should the main function and main() be placed at the start or the end of the program?

Question

I'm a beginner programmer and would like to know where to place my main function in python. I tried googling it but could not find any specific results. I don't think it really matters when you run the program but I was wondering if there was a proper format. Thanks.

There's no established convention, but I think that code is easier to read if the main logic is near the top of the file. I typically will define a main at the top, and then call it from the very bottom.
