Wanna see something freaky?
In IDLE, I type the following:
>>> import sys
>>> import os.path
>>> os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0])
'C:\\Program Files\\Python\\2.4'
>>>
Pretty normal, right? Then I type this:
>>> print sys.argv[0]
>>>
Yup. No output. Even if I wrap the sys.argv[0] in something visible,
there's nothing there:
>>> print "x"+str(sys.argv[0])+"y"
xy
>>>
How does it know what the path of the argument is if it doesn't know
what the argument is? Seems a bit presumptive to assume that CWD is
the path to a blank string...unless abspath presumes that anything you
pass it is an executable, even if it's got no bytes...
