[New-bugs-announce] [issue39774] Missing documentation on how to make package executable as script

[igo95862]

New submission from igo95862 <igo9586 at gmail.com>:

This is package documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html#packages


To make package executable (python -m package) you need to create a file __main__.py  in the package directory.


This is pretty much not documented anyone aside of trying to run a package missing __main__.py


This page already contains information on how to make module executable. (https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html#executing-modules-as-scripts)
