I expanded the patch from tebeka to also work with invocations like `python3 -m serial.tools.miniterm` where `miniterm.py` is a file and not a directory with a `__main__.py`. This was able to handle everything I threw at it.

However due to the import of zipfile which itself imports binascii the build of CPython itself fails at the `sharedmods` stage...


```text
 CC='gcc -pthread' LDSHARED='gcc -pthread -shared    ' OPT='-DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall' 	_TCLTK_INCLUDES='' _TCLTK_LIBS='' 	./python -E ./setup.py  build
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/septatrix/Documents/programming/cpython/./setup.py", line 3, in <module>
    import argparse
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/home/septatrix/Documents/programming/cpython/Lib/argparse.py", line 93, in <module>
    from zipfile import is_zipfile as _is_zipfile
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/home/septatrix/Documents/programming/cpython/Lib/zipfile.py", line 6, in <module>
    import binascii
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'binascii'
make: *** [Makefile:639: sharedmods] Error 1
```

I guess this is because binascii is a c module and not yet build at that point in time. Does anyone who knows more about the build system have an idea how to resolve this?

Resolving this bug would also allow the removal of several workarounds for this in the stdlib:
