Shriramana Sharma added the comment: I'm sorry but I don't get why this is a WONTFIX. I reported what is (now) apparently a dup: issue 18067. Just like the OP of this bug, I feel that in doing testing and such, one would naturally symlink and expect the library in the *current* directory to be imported.
And about the CWD, I have demonstrated in issue 18067 how the CWD is in fact reported to be the directory of the *source* of the symlink (i.e. the dir containing the symlink inode) and not the *target* of the symlink. This is precisely what is frustrating about this bug: the fact that Python does not import something from a directory which it reports to be the current directory as per os.getcwd(). While I myself lack the internal CPython code knowledge to fix this, I can't imagine this would be too difficult to fix, given that os.getcwd() already reports the correct current directory -- in setting up the import path list, you just have to use that i.o. whatever else you are using now.
