Hi, note -m on packages still works with python3.0 and python3.1. It works by allowing a __main__.py file that gets called by -m. This is a really annoying regression for python2.6. It's a fairly wide spread feature too. I can't see any PEP for why this regression exists. For pygame we will probably work around it by using "python -m tests.main" or "python -m pygame.tests.run" which is ugly, but at least it'll work! cheers,

cheers,
