Why the default sys.path[0] insertion? (It breaks my code.)

Hi,

Thanks for your comments you sent in email.  One other thing occurred to 
me.  You wrote:

It sounds like you mean that you use the fact that path[0] contains the 
package's directory.  But this is completely random, isn't it?  It 
depends on how the module is executed / imported.
