Yeah, maybe __main__ is good. Perhaps pygame.tests should have a __main__
function too?
>>> import pygame.tests
>>> pygame.tests.main()
Since main() is what is used in the examples, it would be nice to try and
keep it the same. But then we need to add a main.py and a __main__.py...
ew.

I'm not sure anyone would remember to add __main__ at the end(or even
main). oh well.
There might be a workaround... One work around might be to make it into a
module-module, not a package-module. Then have the module-module load the
package-module into its namespace.
