Python wish: a new meaning for "import ... as ..."

For Python modules that are meant to be imported, I usually try to put the testing code inside the module using the standard

if __name__ == "__main__":

block of code.

However, if the module is also meant to possibly be used by itself, then this approach doesn't work and the testing code has to be put in a separate module. I wish it would be possible to write something like

if __name__ == ''SomeNameChosenForTestingPurpose":

inside this_module.py and that importing the module using

import this_module as SomeNameChosenForTestingPurpose

would result in the variable __name__ inside this_module.py being assigned to SomeNameChosenForTestingPurpose. This would allow the inclusion of the testing code to be always kept inside a given Python module. To build a test suite, one would only need to have a module that does a series of "import ... as ..." statements.

As it is, __name__ is either equal to "__main__" or the original name of the Python file (this_module in the example above).

===In short, I would like to be able to design Python modules in this way:

some clever Python code

if __name__ == "__main__":
    some clever Python code to be 
    executed when this module
    is called as the main program.

if __name__ == "SomeNameChosenForTestingPurpose":
   Some clever Python code
   to be executed when
   this module is imported as
   SomeNameChosenForTestingPurpose
