$ pydoc runpy
 run_module(mod_name, init_globals=None, run_name=None, alter_sys=False)
 Execute a module's code without importing it
 
 Returns the resulting top level namespace dictionary
 
 run_path(path_name, init_globals=None, run_name=None)
 Execute code located at the specified filesystem location
 
 Returns the resulting top level namespace dictionary
 
 The file path may refer directly to a Python script (i.e.
 one that could be directly executed with execfile) or else
 it may refer to a zipfile or directory containing a top
 level __main__.py script.
The meaning of the arguments should be documented (e.g. by copy-pasting the html docs). (And some sentences are missing final dots.)
