Every command-line executable has some flags to configure it while it runs. Some of the popular flags include –help to get idea documentation about executable, -v to check the executable version, and -m flag to run a Python module. Although there are many other flags available, only a few of them are actually useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Python m flag runs the module as mentioned in __main__ module. -m flag requires the user to add an <module-name> as an argument right after it. After reading the argument, it checks the module in the sys.path and runs its content. Also, note that (.py) is not required while mentioning the module name in the command line.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use other supported characters from module names such as hyphen (-), under scroll (_), or dot (.) to call the specific modules. Some of the built-in modules are not available on this method because they are pre-compiled in C format and are not present in python modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
