[Python-Dev] sys.path in interactive session

[Guido van Rossum]

I've always liked it this way; using "" instead of "." means that if
you os.path.join() it with a script name you don't get a spurious "./"
prepended.

I think that the "absolutizing" of sys.path entries is relatively new
(seems to have started in 2.3).

Also note that it's not really the current directory but the directory
containing the script; that is definitely intentional.
