Apparently the limited support for -m is standard behaviour - see http://bugs.python.org/issue18422 - but it's not documented at http://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-m That should say, somewhere, that it only applies to leaf modules and packages.

@Andrew could you put up a patch for this?

The limitation noted in #18422 was specific to 3.3, as the missing API was added to NamespaceLoader in 3.4. So the current documentation is accurate for recent versions of Python.
