My mistake! You're right, sys.argv[0] is the path to the script for me too. [Tim] >> The directory of the script being run was >> nevertheless in sys.path[0] on both Windows and Linux.

I don't think it does (although I understand why it's sane to believe that it must). Curiously, I do _not_ see the current directory on sys.path on Windows if I run from current CVS HEAD. I do see it running Pythons 2.2.3, 2.3.5 and 2.4.2. PC/getpathp.c doesn't appear to have changed in a relevant way. blor.py: """ import sys from pprint import pprint print sys.version_info pprint(sys.path) """ C:\>\code\python\PCbuild\python.exe code\blor.py # C:\ not in sys.path (2, 5, 0, 'alpha', 0) ['C:\\code', 'C:\\code\\python\\PCbuild\\python25.zip', 'C:\\code\\python\\DLLs', 'C:\\code\\python\\lib', 'C:\\code\\python\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\code\\python\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\code\\python\\PCbuild', 'C:\\code\\python', 'C:\\code\\python\\lib\\site-packages'] C:\>\python24\python.exe code\blor.py # C:\ in sys.path (2, 4, 2, 'final', 0) ['C:\\code', 'C:\\python24\\python24.zip', 'C:\\', 'C:\\python24\\DLLs', 'C:\\python24\\lib', 'C:\\python24\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\python24\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\python24', 'C:\\python24\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\python24\\lib\\site-packages\\PIL', 'C:\\python24\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 'C:\\python24\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'C:\\python24\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin'] _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
