[issue16217] Tracebacks are unnecessarily verbose when using 'python -m'

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Regarding directories and zipfiles, runpy._run_module_as_main also handles those - the CLI effectively transforms directory and zipfile execution into a "python -m __main__" call with a suitably adjusted sys.path[0] entry (i.e. the given directory or zip archive, rather than the current directory).
