[New-bugs-announce] [issue19982] Add a "target" parameter to runpy.run_path and runpy.run_module

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan:

One idea from PEP 451 was to add a "target" parameter to runpy.run_path and runpy.run_module to allow them to support execution in an existing module namespace (like __main__).

This missed the feature freeze deadline for 3.4, but can be added in 3.5.
