That said, I really don't think catching such a rare error is worth any runtime overhead. Just making "main" and the real module name refer to the same object in sys.modules is a different matter, but I'm not confident enough that I fully grasp the implications to do it without gathering feedback from a wider audience.

If you make sys.module['main'] and sys.module['modname'] the same (let's call it mod), what will be the value of mod.name?
