Let the __main__ module be preloaded by extracting the necessary path from the spawn.get_preparation_data() result.

Most changes to Python require a NEWS entry. Add one using the blurb_it web app or the blurb command-line tool.

If this change has little impact on Python users, wait for a maintainer to apply the skip news label instead.
