sys.path[0] in IDLE

[Lee Harr]

Am I reading this correctly?

http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-sys.html

"""
As initialized upon program startup, the first item of this list,
path[0], is the directory containing the script that was used to
invoke the Python interpreter.
"""


So, sys.path[0] should be the directory that my script is in?

Even if running the script from IDLE?

Has anyone else had problems with this? Especially on windows?
