When someone run Demo/comparisons/regextest.py without arguments it waits for lines to be inserted in the command line silently, until the EOF, or Ctrl+D in Linux, is entered.

If the user read the file, editing or using cat Demo/comparisons/sortingtest.py he have to understand the code to figure out how to use it.

My suggestion is to add an usage message, plus the if __name__ == '__main__':.

I had write a suggested patch before seeing this message http://bugs.python.org/issue10494#msg122047 from Alexander Belopolsky (belopolsky). 

Probably it will be discarded, but as I commented in the previous #issue10494, the work was already done. (see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2010-October/008416.html)
