Nick Coghlan  added the comment:

See issue 21862 and issue 9325 as potential use cases for this feature.

While it looks like issue 21862 (-m switch support in cProfile) can be 
implemented just fine without it, this feature will be needed for the modules 
that execute the given scripts directly in __main__.__dict__ (e.g. pdb).

Hey ncoghlan,

Does this issue makes sense to be worked on for Python 3.7?

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Implementing this is actually likely to require non-trivial restructuring of 
the runpy internals. contextlib.ExitStack may prove useful in making it easier 
to programmatically select amongst different context managers.

The __mp_main__ helpers in multiprocessing should also be able to take 
advantage of this once it is available, and it may prove useful in finally 
providing -m analogues for pdb etc that play nice when an exception occurs (see 
issue 9325).

[issue19982] Add a "target" parameter to runpy.run_path and runpy.run_module

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan:

One idea from PEP 451 was to add a "target" parameter to runpy.run_path and 
runpy.run_module to allow them to support execution in an existing module 
namespace (like __main__).

This missed the feature freeze deadline for 3.4, but can be added in 3.5.
