Hi,
python -m pygame.tests.__main__
python -m pygame.docs.__main__
There would be no reason to run pygame.examples, right?
Yeah, maybe __main__ is good. Perhaps pygame.tests should have a
__main__ function too?
>>> import pygame.tests
>>> pygame.tests.main()
Since main() is what is used in the examples, it would be nice to try
and keep it the same. But then we need to add a main.py and a
__main__.py... ew.

Doing it for examples could list which examples are available?

I'm not sure anyone would remember to add __main__ at the end(or even
main). oh well.
There might be a workaround... One work around might be to make it
into a module-module, not a package-module. Then have the
module-module load the package-module into its namespace.
The explanation I found was that being able to run a package in
Python 2.5 was considered a bug, so was fixed in Python 2.6.
Adding __main__.py as an entry point for running a package in
Python 2.7 and 3.0 is an attempt repair the fix.
