In 2.x, 'python -m tokenize' worked great:

[meadori@motherbrain cpython]$ python2.7 -m tokenize test.py
1,0-1,5:        NAME    'print'
1,6-1,21:       STRING  '"Hello, World!"'
1,21-1,22:      NEWLINE '\n'
2,0-2,0:        ENDMARKER       ''

In 3.x, however, the functionality has been removed and replaced with
some hard-wired test code:

[meadori@motherbrain cpython]$ python3 -m tokenize test.py
TokenInfo(type=57 (ENCODING), string='utf-8', start=(0, 0), end=(0, 0), line='')
TokenInfo(type=1 (NAME), string='def', start=(1, 0), end=(1, 3),
line='def parseline(self, line):')
TokenInfo(type=1 (NAME), string='parseline', start=(1, 4), end=(1,
13), line='def parseline(self, line):')
TokenInfo(type=53 (OP), string='(', start=(1, 13), end=(1, 14),
line='def parseline(self, line):')
...

The functionality was removed here [1], but with no explanation.  Let's add it back and document the functionality this time around.
