http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-sys.html sounds quite official
about this to me:

"The first item of this list, path[0], is the directory containing the
script that was used to invoke the Python interpreter. If the script
directory is not available (e.g. if the interpreter is invoked interactively
or if the script is read from standard input), path[0] is the empty string,
which directs Python to search modules in the current directory first."
