Yes, this is deliberate. From the run_module documentation: "__name__ is set to run_name if this optional argument is not None, to mod_name + '.__main__' if the named module is a package and to the mod_name argument otherwise." This allows arbitrary code to be executed to populate a namespace, but you have to explicitly opt-in to having a second pseudo-__main__ module run in the same process (with all the potential pickle compatibility issues that doing so creates). ---------- resolution: -> not a bug _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37941> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
