Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

I believe the patch produces the following as the first sentence

"When a module named :mod:`spam` is imported, the interpreter searches for a 
file named :file:`spam.py` in a list of directories given by the variable 
``sys.path`` which is initialized from the directory containing the input 
script (or the current directory), :envvar:`PYTHONPATH` (a list of directory 
names, with the same syntax as the shell variable :envvar:`PATH`) and the 
installation-dependent default."

This is more that a 'mouthful', especially for a tutorial, and I think is 
should be split into two:
variable ``sys.path``.  ``Sys.path`` is initialized ...
