While doing some debugging on issue44459 using Python 3.10b3, I was using Pdb and after troubleshooting an exception and hitting 'q' to quit, I saw the following:

```

```

I'd not seen this error before, so I suspect there may be a regression in 3.10. I haven't investigated further, but I wanted to register this possible issue.
msg396143 - (view) Author: Jason R. Coombs (jaraco) * (Python committer) Date: 2021-06-19 17:08
I encountered the same error on Python 3.9.
msg396144 - (view) Author: Jason R. Coombs (jaraco) * (Python committer) Date: 2021-06-19 17:10
I can replicate the issue with this command: `python -m pdb -m importlib` (since `importlib` isn't executable, it triggers an error in runpy).
msg396145 - (view) Author: Jason R. Coombs (jaraco) * (Python committer) Date: 2021-06-19 17:18
I was _unable_ to replicate the issue with a foo.py containing only `raise ValueError`, even with `python -m pdb -m foo`.
msg396634 - (view) Author: Irit Katriel (iritkatriel) * (Python committer) Date: 2021-06-28 13:21
The difference between Jason's two test cases is which stage of Pdb._runmodule() fails. 

In the case of `python -m pdb -m importlib` runpy._get_module_details(module_name) raises an exception because importlib is a package and it looks for its __main__, so self.run(code) is never called.

In the case of `python -m pdb -m foo` with foo that raises an exception,  foo is not a package so the __main__ check doesn't happen. The exception comes from within the self.run(code) call (when the module is executed). self.run() calls self.reset() before executing the code, and reset() calls Bdb.reset() which initializes self.botframe (to None).
msg396635 - (view) Author: Irit Katriel (iritkatriel) * (Python committer) Date: 2021-06-28 13:22
However, if we just try to initialize self.botframe to None in __init__, then 'quit' doesn't work anymore, so something else needs to be done about cleanup when import fails at that stage.
msg396646 - (view) Author: Irit Katriel (iritkatriel) * (Python committer) Date: 2021-06-28 16:22
The cleanup issue was in the except: clause of the main loop: if the user does quit() during the pdb.interaction() call upon an unhandled exception ("the post mortem debugger"), then this quit request is ignored and the program just restarts.

The attached patch fixes this by checking for quit requests after the port-mortem debugger returns.

Thanks Irit. Reviewing now...

I've close PR26937 since we're not going for that. The test from it might still be useful, so I'm copying it here:

    def test_package_without_a_main(self):
        pkg_name = 't_pkg'
        module_name = 't_main'
        os_helper.rmtree(pkg_name)
        modpath = pkg_name + '/' + module_name
        os.makedirs(modpath)
        with open(modpath + '/__init__.py', 'w') as f:
            pass
        self.addCleanup(os_helper.rmtree, pkg_name)
        stdout, stderr = self._run_pdb(['-m', modpath.replace('/', '.')], "")
        self.assertIn(
            "'t_pkg.t_main' is a package and cannot be directly executed",
            stdout)

This issue is solved. Thanks Irit for taking the time to investigate the issue and do the hard part of developing a test.
