\section{PEP 338: Executing Modules as Scripts}
-% XXX write this
+The \programopt{-m} switch added in Python 2.4 to execute a module as
+a script gained a few more abilities. Instead of being implemented in
+C code inside the Python interpreter, the switch now uses an
+implementation in a new module, \module{runpy}.
+
+The \module{runpy} module implements a more sophisticated import
+mechanism so that it's now possible to run modules in a package such
+as \module{pychecker.checker}. The module also supports alternative
+import mechanisms such as the \module{zipimport} module. (This means
+you can add a .zip archive's path to \code{sys.path} and then use the
+\programopt{-m} switch to execute code from the archive.
