+1 on the -m command-line variation, with the following change:

I'd like Python to import the module and then run it's main function. I've been meaning to suggest smething like this myself.

I'd prefer it import the module, with name == "main", because it's compatible with what we do now for a module that's also a script. But I like the idea, nonetheless.

Question: should python -m foo.bar.baz work? I'd say "yes".
