Hello,

when I run a script with a "normally" installed python, the directory the script resides in is automatically added as first element to sys.path, so that "import my_local_module" finds my_local_module.py in the directory of the script.

However, when I run the same script with embeddable python ("Windows embeddable package (64-bit)", download link
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.3/python-3.11.3-embed-amd64.zip) the script 
directory is *not* prepended to the path, thus "import my_local_module" gives 
an ImportError.

I couldn't find an option to get the "normal" behaviour. Any ideas how to do that?

What I tried so far:
[...]
* I can add the following lines to every script:
     import sys
     script_path = __file__.rsplit("\\", 1)[0]
     if script_path not in sys.path:
         sys.path[0:0] = [script_path]
     import my_local_modul
[...]

Have used this stanza (actually, for the inverse purpose, to remove that script's dir from sys.path, but whatever...):

script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

you can then insert it:

sys.path.insert(0, script_dir)

or just add:

sys.path = [script_dir] + sys.path

assuming you want it at the front...

but it doesn't really solve your problem of needing it *everywhere*...
