There's nothing all that interesting about that code. I think you just
don't know how to make -m work in a custom script.

AFAIK, the standard interpreter command line arguments are implemented
at a low level and aren't meant to be reusable.  To make them work
basically requires reimplementing them.  It would be useful if there
was a module that just had implementations of (most of) the standard
interpreter options.
