More elegant way to cwd?

Well... but to call it from the shared directory, I'd have to first 
switch to the shared directory! Which would defeat the purpose.

I wish there was a way to store this in a single file and call it from 
any script, but I'm unwilling to keep all my scripts in one folder to 
accomodate it. If only Python would let you import modules from 
different directories. :-/
