By now you should have seen my other post from Saturday which shows
how to use os.path.abspath(), which converts relative paths to absolute
ones by prepending os.getcwd() when required.

sys.path[0] should perhaps show an absolute path, but there are probably
arguments for why it should not, too.  Just convert to an abspath and
your troubles will be gone. :)
