[issue23610] -m arg behavior

[Liam Marsh]

New submission from Liam Marsh:

hello!

trying the solutions proposed by the 23546'th issue, i found that the -m 
argument, for packages (like tkinter, or idlelib; not io or socket), trys to 
find the "__main__" file, not the "__init__" file, which is the main file of 
any package.

is that a problem?

thank you for reading this, and have a nice day/evening!
