python -X somemodule.py.You can do "python -m somemodule" as long as somemodule.py uses the if name=='main' convention. What does your proposal add?
Well, it's not really my proposal. I'm just suggesting the behaviour in PEP299 could be added via a commandline option so that it doesn't introduce backward-incompatibility.
I don't see any particular benefit to PEP299 myself -- I'd rather just add an entry to the style guide about standardizing the "executable stanza" and main() function.
