New submission from Sandro Tosi sandro.t...@gmail.com:
Hi,
looking at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/docs/2011-December/006672.html I
tried to replicate what the user said, and *it seems* that -c and -m doesn't
add the current directory to the start of sys.path:
$ echo -e import sys\nprint (sys.path) dummy.py ; ./python -mdummy
['', '/usr/local/lib/python27.zip', '/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib',
'/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib/plat-linux2',
'/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib/lib-tk', '/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib/lib-old',
'/home/morph/cpython/py27/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7-pydebug',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages']
and
$ ./python -c import dummy
['', '/usr/local/lib/python27.zip', '/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib',
'/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib/plat-linux2',
'/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib/lib-tk', '/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib/lib-old',
'/home/morph/cpython/py27/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7-pydebug',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages']
the same sys.path as from the interactive shell:
$ ./python
Python 2.7.2+ (2.7:f0666e56a552, Jan 7 2012, 16:31:06)
[GCC 4.6.1] on linux2

import sys

sys.path
['', '/usr/local/lib/python27.zip', '/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib',
'/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib/plat-linux2',
'/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib/lib-tk', '/home/morph/cpython/py27/Lib/lib-old',
'/home/morph/cpython/py27/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7-pydebug',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages']

So, is http://docs.python.org/using/cmdline.html#interface-options correct in
saying he current directory will be added to the start of sys.path (allowing
modules in that directory to be imported as top level modules).? (and so forth
for -m option?) am I confused?
