Since the -m module is being run as a script, shouldn't it put the module's directory as the first entry on sys.path? I don't think we should change the fact that *some* directory is always inserted at the beginning of sys.path -- and all the precedents at the moment say "script directory", if you consider -c and the interactive interpreter to be scripts in the current directory. :) _______________________________________________ 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
