Thanks for the input, Steven & Oscar.

Apologies for the confusion over my initial example. Of course, -m runs
something on sys.path, not something in the filesystem as such. I
confused myself because, running on Windows where the current directory
is on the path, I sit in c:\path\to and do python -mapp

Now I look harder, this discussion is basically issue14208:

  http://bugs.python.org/issue14208

so I'll probably go and contribute over there.
