Add -m switch to vmprof cli

[BarrensZeppelin]

It makes vmprof run the specified program with runpy.run_module instead of runpy.run_path.

Could you add a test for this, and add it to the documentation?

[BarrensZeppelin]

Like this? 🙂

[mattip]

Yes, thanks. I assume you have run this and it successfully calls the module as expected?

[BarrensZeppelin]

Yeah. http.server is a bad example for performance profiling, but it seems to work:

$ python3 -m vmprof --output file.prof -m http.server
