I finally finished updating PEP 338 to comply with the flexible importing system in PEP 302.

The result is a not-yet-thoroughly-tested module that should allow the -m switch to execute any module written in Python that is accessible via an absolute import statement. Does this implementation resolve http://www.python.org/sf/1250389 as well? A reading of the PEP would seem to imply that it does, but the SF patches you mention don't include any changes to the core, so I'm not sure...

It will. I haven't updated the command line switch itself yet, so you'd need to do "-m runpy ". I do plan on fixing the switch, but at the moment there's a bug in the module's handling of nested packages, so I want to sort that out first.

Cheers, Nick.
