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 ;-) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
