Wait, this won't work when the script is linked to from somewhere else, which means the code still has to be based on __file__ or sys.argv[0] or sys.path[0], and have to get the absolute/real path in case it's a link. 

Along those lines, you (bukzor) wrote that

Won't this also fail if it's running from a link? The link to the library won't necessarily be in the current directory.
