Oh, a further thought comes to mind... if your modules aren't on the
PYTHONPATH, just drop the -m and you can execute any legal Python file,
even if the name isn't a legal identifier.
[steve@ando tmp]$ cp ~/python/spam/eggs.py /tmp/"some name".foo
[steve@ando tmp]$ python3.5 "some name.foo"
some name.foo
So as I understand it, the functionality you want already exists, both
for running scripts on the path using -m and scripts with arbitrary file
names without -m.
Have I missed some subtlety in your proposal?
