I just became aware of runpy.py this morning looking through "what's
new in Python 2.5?" -- here are some pointers:

Too bad I didn't know about this when you asked.... probably when you
send email questions it would be a good idea to cc jyhton-dev just in
case someone else knows something like this.

Of course this may be beyond the scope of you Zope work,  but it does
look like it is "the right way" to do -m.
