This PEP implementation contains three parts - a
separate Python module (runpy.py) that implements the
PEP 338 functionality, a corresponding test module
(test_runpy.py) and a patch against current subversion
to integrate the module with the -m command line switch.

The documentation for the new module will be submitted
as a separate patch (since the review cycle is a bit
different).

Updated to avoid trying to hide exec's quirks.

Version 3 of implementation. Fixed emulator to generate an
ImportError for non-packages (instead of an AttributeError
in some cases).

Removed extraneous print statements from emulator.

Added basic test suite. Could use beefing up in the area of
actually checking that running modules inside packages works
correctly (I'm currently checking that bit manually).

Version 4 of implementation. Fixes problem with not handling
nested packages and raises ImportError in run_module when no
loader is found.

comment header with author information.

I've attached a zip archive of the directory tree I've been
using to check that the runpy module works correctly. For
each of these command lines:

python -m runpy_demo.test
python -m runpy_demo.pkg.test
python -m runpy_demo.pkg.pkg.test
python -m runpy_demo.pkg.zip_pkg.test

The message "Running runpy_demo.test" should then print to
the console (with the second part of the message changing as
appropriate for the other 3 modules).

The last one obviously won't work if zlib isn't installed,
and all 4 require that both runpy and runpy_demo be on
sys.path (e.g in site-packages, or in the Lib directory).

On older Python versions (or without applying the patch),
invoking runpy directly is enough to make it work

python -m runpy runpy_demo.test
python -m runpy runpy_demo.pkg.test
python -m runpy runpy_demo.pkg.pkg.test
python -m runpy runpy_demo.pkg.zip_pkg.test

Fixed error handling in main.c when the function call
results in an exception. (version 2 of integration diff).

PEP 338 has been updated as of 18-Feb-2006. Those changes
are still to be incorporated into this implementation.

Updated unit tests to match Feb 18 version of PEP and to
cover executing both source and compiled files from the file
system.
