You can use from the CLI like this for modules that a __main__.py has been
provided.
This includes pip, json, venv, tarfile and zip file (off the top of my head).
python -m pip list
python -m json <jaon-file>
python -m venv
etc.
On windows you would use py not python for preference:
py -m pip list
etc.
This is documented for the modules I named above. Is that what you are after?
