Putting the sys.argv call in a main block would make it more
future-proof (for the day when your script becomes a library ;):

import os
pathname = os.path.normpath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

# application code goes here

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    pathname = os.path.normpath(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]))
