+1 from me. I sincerely dislike the Perl-esque -m stuff.

-m is generally for developer utilities, or "incidental" utilities provided by modules that are mainly intended for use as library modules. It's also very handy for running stuff out of an uninstalled Python (such as an svn checkout).

For actual end-user facing scripts, a proper script on the system path is a better option.

Cheers, Nick.
