so you are close to the reasons why the path to directories has been set.

BTW some times ago some more things have been broken.
Decided to fix hierarchically:

indent stuff first, then editing and execution issues.
The later still needs some invest.

auto-completion remains to be done still, as better pydb integration and 
some more interesting things.
