Message 260661 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

This seems like a reasonable enhancement to me, but I'd appreciate your thoughts on how it might relate to a couple of other proposed ideas:

• Supporting execution-by-module-name in pdb et al: https://bugs.python.org/issue9325
• Supporting configurable target environments for module execution: https://bugs.python.org/issue19982

My own current assessment is "this RFE neither helps nor hinders those other ideas", so this can also be read as an attempt to get a potential contributor with an interest in runpy to take a look at those long-languishing ideas to see if they pique your interest ;)
