OK, I'll do that. Any objections to __module_name__ as the name of the
variable? (to keep things simple, run_module() will always define the
variable, even if __name__ and __module_name__ say the same thing).
I'll then put a note in PEP 338 about the necessary hackery to make relative
imports work correctly from a main module - I don't see any reason to include
something like that in the normal docs, since the recommended approach is for
main modules to use absolute imports.
Cheers,
Nick.
