No big deal and easy to work around, I just would like to understand why.
I don't like it either and want to change it, but I'm also not going
to mess with it until the importlib bootstrapping is fully integrated
and stable.
For the moment, there's a workaround in runpy to ensure at least
__main__.__file__ is always absolute (even when using the -m switch).
Longer term, I'd like to see __file__ and __path__ entries to be
guaranteed to be *always* absolutely, even when they're imported
relative to the current working directory.
Is there a recommendable way to fix this? I would like to tell people
what to do to make imports reliable. Either I put something into
the toplevel __init__ code, or I hack something into .pth or sitecustomize,
and then forget about this.
But I fear hacking __init__ is the only safe way that works without
a special python setup, which makes the whole reasoning rather
useless, because I can _not_ forget about this.... waah ;-)
