I've done a little poking around, and it looks like you are correct and I'm 
wrong. It appears that readline.so is or should be a special case.  I've added 
some people to nosy to see what they think.

Specifically, it appears that if I put a file that should shadow a library 
module that is imported at python startup time (eg: os.py) into my current 
working directory I still get the os.py from the appropriate lib directory, 
even though '' is first in my sys.path.  This is not how I thought it worked, 
but it is my observation.  I tested this on 2.6.6, 2.7.1 and 3.3 tip.
