[issue2751] Regression for executing packages

[Rene Dudfield]

Rene Dudfield <illume at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Hi,

note -m on packages still works with python3.0 and python3.1.  It works
by allowing a __main__.py file that gets called by -m.

This is a really annoying regression for python2.6.  It's a fairly wide
spread feature too.

I can't see any PEP for why this regression exists.

For pygame we will probably work around it by using "python -m
tests.main" or "python -m pygame.tests.run" which is ugly, but at least
it'll work!


cheers,
