It works on Python 2 too:
$ ls execdir/
foo.py  __main__.py
$ cat execdir/foo.py 
print("foo imported")
$ cat execdir/__main__.py 
import foo; print("main imported")
$ python execdir/
foo imported
main imported
$ python -V
Python 2.7.8

I haven't done any tests about the interaction of namespace packages and 
__main__.py, but if there are additional semantics, they should be documented 
as well.
