Nick is right that importing package.__main__ requires importing package.__init__ first. But it sounds like Michael really just wants some way to know when runpy is being used over something else. Could a special string token like "<runpy>" or "<-m>" be placed in sys.argv until it is back-patched to what it will eventually become? That should allow Michael to find out what whether runpy was being used or not.
