In the library reference, for the 'path' list in the 'os' module: "The 
first item of this list, path[0], is the directory containing the script 
that was used to invoke the Python interpreter." I interpreted it as the 
directory with the script.

It says it returns the working directory. Is that always where the script 
file is? Suppose I call the script from another directory?
