Yeah, I am starting to like it as well. Steven and Jim, what do you think?
Note that the one benefit the sys.main-only variant doesn't have is the lower cognitive load of just having to know about main, instead of having to know about name, import and sys.main.
That said, since the PEP as it stands introduces a sys.main anyway, we might as well start with that. People can then play around with it and see if we need to introduce a main module attribute or builtin as well.
