How to make __name__ return "__main__" in exec

[Carlo Oliveira]

Older versions of on line Brython would return "__main__" for __name__. Now they return exec_[number].

I want to use ace editor to teach python to my students to use the famous boilerplate:
 if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Currently I have to teach a weird variation:

 if "exec_" in __name__:
    main()

That is not compatible with Desktop Python and they have to change their code to run in Cpython.

How can a tune exec as to make __name__ = "__main__"?

This will help them to produce modules that can be tested as stand_alone but remain unchanged when tied together as a large program.
