Note also that argparse/optparse does not know about -m way either:

I am not sure if it is possible for argparse to distinguish between -m and file name invocations, so maybe it should always use python -m modname if sys.argv[0] ends with .py. Again, this is quite important if the module being run is inside a package.
If __main__.__package__ is set to anything other than None, odds are fairly good that runpy did the import. If it's set to a non-empty string, you definitely *shouldn't* be invoking the relevant main script by filename. Sounds like one for the tracker.
