package is not executable

[g]

The package cannot be executed using python -m restview ..

No module named restview.__main__; 'restview' is a package and cannot be directly executed

NOTE: One can get around this using python -m restview.restviewhttp.

It would be nice to not have to specify the the .restviewhttp particularly since there is only one entry point into the program (as near as I can tell). This can be done with something like.

# src/restview/__main__.py
from restview import restviewhttp
restviewhttp.main()

This type of functionality can be useful with multiple Pythons, and also on windows, where the scripts*.exe files may not be in the path, be restricted for silly IT reasons, etc.

This is an excellent idea!
