Sorry, something went wrong.
When running a package with 'python -m mypackage', sys.argv[0] points to mypackage/__main__.py. Previously this caused the usage/help output to show '__main__.py' as the command name instead of the actual package name. This fix extracts the package name from the parent directory when the script name is '__main__.py', applied in both fire/__main__.py (for python -m fire) and fire/core.py (for fire.Fire() calls).
