OK, that pretty much tells me that this is a bad idea. It's never going to be robust enough to work. I'm amazed actually that there's no way to say "don't add the script location to sys.path", even as a command line option. It seems like the sort of thing you'd want to make scripts robust, a bit like -S and -E. Paul
