Ned Deily added the comment: Perhaps I misunderstand what you meant but "python -m module_name" is a documented Python 2 feature:
https://docs.python.org/2/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-m I think the failure to initialize when using -m idlelib after copying over __main__.py from Python 3 is caused by IDLE2's reliance on buggy import behavior fixed by Issue7902. In any case, applying 556b9bafdee8 from Python 3 seems to fix it. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23546> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
