   1 """runpy.py - locating and running Python code using the module namespace
   2
   3 Provides support for locating and running Python scripts using the Python
   4 module namespace instead of the native filesystem.
   5
   6 This allows Python code to play nicely with non-filesystem based PEP 302
   7 importers when locating support scripts as well as when importing modules.
