If you have:
<curdir>
/subdir
__main__.py
Then in 3.3+, both of the following will work:
python3 subdir
python3 -m subdir
They do slightly different things, though.
In the first case, "subdir" will be added to sys.path, and then python will
execute the equivalent of "python3 -m __main__"
In the second case, the current directory will be added to sys.path, and python
will execute the equivalent of "python3 -m subdir.__main__"
The first case is the directory execution support that was added way back in
Python 2.6.
The second case is a combination of the package execution support added in
Python 2.7/3.1 and the implicit namespace packages support that was added in
Python 3.3.
Interesting find - the possibility of the latter situation hadn't occurred to
me before :)
