Thomas Kluyver added the comment:
The 'short circuit' appears to do what I'd consider the wrong thing when an
executable file of the same name exists in the working directory. i.e.
which('setup.py') can return 'setup.py', even though running 'setup.py' in a
shell doesn't work (you need ./setup.py).
This is on UNIX-y systems, I see from the comments that the cwd is implicitly
on the path in Windows.
Is this in scope for which() to deal with? Should I open a bug for it?
Apologies if it's been discussed already.
