I am not sure it is a good idea to rely on sys.path[0] being the current directory. I think the proper solution is to use: os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0]) If sys.argv[0] is a relative path, than adding cwd via the above function will make it absolute as the gp wanted. This may only break if the python program messes around with the cwd but in that case its a good idea to extract os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0]) before that. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
