The usage of -m option of python

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I don't quite understand how -m option is used. And it is difficult to
search for -m in google. Could anybody provide me with an example on
how to use this option? Thanks!

-m module-name
Searches sys.path for the named module and runs the
corresponding .py file as a script.

The most practical use I know is to run the debug program..
python -mpdb yourprogramm.py arguments..
