Nick Coghlan added the comment: You'd also need to update the new multiprocessing code - it currently expects "__main__.__spec__ == None" for all the run-from-a-path-or-stdin cases.
The -m switch and running __main__ from a supplied sys.path entry (the "dir" entry in your table) are both already handled by the runpy changes in issue 19700. The remaining cases where __main__.__spec__ is currently None: - interactive prompt - -c switch - running from stdin - running directly from a source or bytecode file To be honest, I'm not sure it actually makes sense to try to manufacture a pseudo-spec for those cases. A main script may not be importable as a module (e.g. a hyphen in its name, or no .py suffix), and you *definitely* can't import a file that doesn't exist on disk (REPL, stdin, -c). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19697> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
