Thank you for your answer. But I'm afraid it's not the source
directory but the current working directory. You can see the
difference if you copy the passage

    "for ix1, p1 in enumerate(sys.path): print "%02.02d: %s" % (ix1,
p1)"

to a "normal script". If you start that "normal script" from a
directory other than the source directory, you can see that both
directories are included in sys.path. If you run this code inside
sitecustomize.py this is not the case.

Thank you
Peter
