Nick Coghlan added the comment:
This is a result of a known quirk in the way sys.path entry execution works:
the search for "__main__.py" isn't constrained specifically to sys.path[0].
That's almost entirely a bad thing, but I'd been ignoring it because I hadn't
thought of a nice way of fixing it that didn't require some substantial changes
to the import system APIs.
However, it just occurred to me that I may have been overcomplicating matters:
we don't need to keep runpy from *finding* a __main__.py from outside
sys.path[0] in this case, we just need to keep it from *running* it.
That means that after we find the candidate module spec for __main__, we can
introduce a new constraint:
if os.path.commonpath([sys.path[0], spec.origin]) != sys.path[0]:
raise RuntimeError(...)
It might still be a little fiddly to decide exactly when to enforce the
constraint, but it should still be much easier than attempting to constrain the
search for the spec directly.
