Content
This is not a bug: * "python -m NAME" runs module (or package) NAME as a script, NAME should therefore be a module name and not a filename (and hence not have a .py suffix) * "python NAME" runs a script in file NAME and should therefore by a complete file name, including a suffix when the file name has a suffix. In your examples "python -m vixsd.py" and "python vixsd" correctly raise an error.
