Form irc:

[08:00:45] <helmut> is having "." in the library path for a python application 
generally considered a vulnerability?
[08:45:03] <womble> helmut: It certainly isn't a *good* thing.  If it runs with 
any sort of elevated privileges, it's *definitely* exploitable.
[09:56:04] <carnil> helmut, womble: reminds me as example to perl e.g. there is 
#588017, one puppet CVE in similar regard was 
http://puppetlabs.com/security/cve/cve-2014-3248, or #591676
[09:56:14] [zwiebelbot] Debian#588017: perl: current directory in @INC 
potentially harmful - https://bugs.debian.org/588017
[09:56:15] [zwiebelbot] Debian#591676: pylint: please either disable or 
document dynamic checks - https://bugs.debian.org/591676
