I guess I'm confused if you want (e.g.) `python json.py` to do something
but not `python -m json` to call the same file (a different way), given
you're in the directory.
nick@lappy386:~/Code$ echo "{}" | python -m json.tool
{}
nick@lappy386:~/Code$ touch json.py
nick@lappy386:~/Code$ echo "{}" | python -m json.tool
.../bin/python: Error while finding module specification for 'json.tool'
(ModuleNotFoundError: __path__ attribute not found on 'json' while trying
to find 'json.tool')
nick@lappy386:~/Code$ echo "{}" | python -I -m json.tool
{}
Isolated mode effectively ignores the environment (variables and
directory), so it will only use what's in that Python's site-packages
(non-user, but could be a virtualenv)
If you want the local path to not be on `sys.path` for a *script-like*
call, you could do `python -I myscript.py`, but `-m mypkg` is I think
indistinguishable from trying to `import mypkg`, so it needs to be
discoverable on `sys.path`...this feels like an A/B problem: what are you
trying to do?
