Well, that's in interactive mode, and I see sys.path[0] == "" on both Windows and Linux then. I don't see "" in sys.path on either box in batch mode, although I do see the absolutized path to the current directory in sys.path in batch mode on Windows but not on Linux -- but Mark Hammond says he doesn't see (any form of) the current directory in sys.path in batch mode on Windows. It's a bit confusing ;-) Been bit by this in the past. On windows, it's a relative path in interactive mode and absolute path in non-interactive mode. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
