Well, that's in interactive mode, and I see sys.path[0] == "" on both Windows and Linux then. I don't see "" in sys.path on either box in batch mode, although I do see the absolutized path to the current directory in sys.path in batch mode on Windows but not on Linux -- but Mark Hammond says he doesn't see (any form of) the current directory in sys.path in batch mode on Windows.
It's a bit confusing ;-)
How did you test batch mode? All: sys.path[0] is *not* defined to be the current directory. It is defined to be the directory of the script that was used to invoke python (sys.argv[0], typically). If there is no script, or it is being read from stdin, the default is ''. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
