And if anyone notices some oddities with sys.path initialisation, we're aware of them and are looking into it: http://bugs.python.org/issue29723 (it currently appears to be a case where a fix that worked as intended in Windows is unexpectedly leaving the parent directory of the given directory or archive on sys.path when running directories and zip archives on other platforms).
