Sorry, something went wrong.

Hello, and thanks for your contribution!

I'm a bot set up to make sure that the project can legally accept this contribution by verifying everyone involved has signed the PSF contributor agreement (CLA).

Recognized GitHub username

We couldn't find a bugs.python.org (b.p.o) account corresponding to the following GitHub usernames:

@cuppajoeman

This might be simply due to a missing "GitHub Name" entry in one's b.p.o account settings. This is necessary for legal reasons before we can look at this contribution. Please follow the steps outlined in the CPython devguide to rectify this issue.

You can check yourself to see if the CLA has been received.

There was a problem hiding this comment.

The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.

The fact that the current directory is added to sys.path is not specific to -m option, see https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.path. For instance, given the current directory:

.
└── pkg
    ├── __init__.py
    └── mod.py

any python command will find pkg.mod (e.g. pydoc pkg.mod).

As the current wording explicitly refers to sys.path, I believe this is sufficient.
