Remove the clutter. This probably means having a very minimal "real"
main program. IDLE does this by putting all the real code in the
"run" module, and bootstrapping the subprocess as follows:
python -c "__import__('run').main()"
This is roughly equivalent to executing
import run
run.main()
except that it doesn't create a variable 'run'.
