I try to use along with -m (`python -I -m a.b`) and get this error: "python: Error while finding module specification for 'a.b' (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'a')".

This is a use case for -m that requires adding the working directory to sys.path. I work in virtual environments, and I don't navigate into a package and execute modules. The target package is always either in the standard library or installed in site-packages, and the module is executed from the top level. So for me adding the working directory is a feature I never need, and I completely forgot about why anyone would want it.
