I'll have to check that out. It looks like it would work fine for my purposes 
since I normally run from virtual envs, but could be restrictive in that the 
user site-packages isn't added.
I also found some other mentions of this:
https://bugs.python.org/issue33053https://bugs.python.org/issue13475
One idea may be, when executing "python -m", check to see if the module is 
loaded from CWD, if so then have CWD added, but if the module is not loaded 
from CWD then not have it added.

When running a python script directly, the directory of that script gets added

string gets added to sys.path, which appears to result in CWD being used.

Are you familiar with the -I option for "isolated mode"? 
https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#id2 

-I
Run Python in isolated mode. This also implies -E and -s. In isolated mode 
sys.path contains neither the script’s directory nor the user’s site-packages 
directory. All PYTHON* environment variables are ignored, too. Further 
restrictions may be imposed to prevent the user from injecting malicious code. 
New in version 3.4.
