Isn't 'definition time' vs 'execution time' an artificial distinction?  I'm surprised that the main module is compiled differently than a regular module.  Is that an artifact of the CPython implementation or a part of the language?  If the latter it should certainly be documented. 

What are the concrete differences between 'execution time' and 'defintion time' that are missing from the language specification?
