[issue3441] Regression in "module as a script" command-line option

[Richard Jones]

New submission from Richard Jones <richardjones at optushome.com.au>:

The Python 2.5 "-m" command-line option allowed execution of a package
directly, by invoking the __init__.py module.

Python 2.6 no longer allows this.

This is a quite unfortunate regression, and I would urge the decision to
hobble it to be reconsidered.
