However, after reflection, I think now that -m probably only really makes sense for stdlib modules, since projects using setuptools can now get all the benefits of -m without any of the drawbacks, without even writing any __name__=='__main__' code.
One thing you get with -m is that the module doesn't have to be on PATH. Where does setuptools install its wrapper executables? (The usual \Python24\Scripts directory isn't added to PATH by the installer).
I know, I'm nitpicking. Sorry :-)
