Hi All,

I'm being bitten by this issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue1734860 I'm not sure I agree with Daniel's closing of it so thought I'd ask here... Am I right in thinking that the general idea is that "the current working directory at the time of invoking a script or interpreter ends up on the python path" or should I be thinking "the directory that a script exists in should end up on the python path"? If the latter, then what happens in the case of just starting up an interpreter?

It's the latter. In the case where there is no script, then the current directory is considered to be the directory of the script.
