I'm not, because it breaks importing from the interactive prompt if you change directory after starting the session. The existing workaround for applications is pretty trivial: # Somewhere in your initialisation code for i, entry in enumerate(sys.path): sys.path[i] = os.path.abspath(i) The fix for the import system is similarly trivial: call os.path.abspath when calculating __file__ (just as runpy now does and the import emulation in pkgutil always has).
