R. David Murray added the comment:

When a script is executed by python, it does *not* import from the CWD, it 
imports from the *location of the script*.  From this, then, you can see that 
there are two possible interpretations of "the location of the script" when the 
script is a symlink, and we have chosen the more secure (and practical) one: 
the location of the real script file.
