No need even for that .py file, is there?  You can easily execute
a .pyc file directly if the .py doesn't exist.  To create it,
easiest way is just to do "import mymainmodule" from the interactive
prompt, then copy the resulting .pyc somewhere else.

Alternatively, keep you .py as the main entry point, but do nothing
inside it except import another module and execute code in it.
But if you can do that, then invoking that module directly is easy
too:  "python -c 'import main; main.main()'" does the trick...
