[Python-Dev] runpy.py

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Take a look at two PEPs referenced in runpy doc,
http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/runpy.html :

PEP 338 - Executing modules as scripts
PEP written and implemented by Nick Coghlan.
PEP 366 - Main module explicit relative imports
PEP written and implemented by Nick Coghlan.

(Nick is too modest to self-reference, but these two PEPs give an
excellent exposition. :-)
