Not sure what __path__ is here, as most of the things in my sys.modules don't have it; do you mean __file__? In theory, it should be possible to skim across sys.modules, looking for a match against __main__, and raising RuntimeError if any is found. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
