Hi,
When I open python shell and change to any directory, the sys.path
always shows ' '. This means it has temporarily added the current
directory to its path i.e., sys.path shows [' ', other paths]
I can then load any module from the current directory even though the
current directory is not

The Python 2.7 documents for the threading module says, in part,
wait([timeout])¶
Wait until notified or until a timeout occurs. If the calling
thread has not acquired the lock when this method is called, a

Not that I'm aware of.
I have a script that run the test suite, one of the first commands (before

find . -name '*.py[co]' -exec rm {} \;
This makes sure the tests run in a "clean" environment.

Wow. As somebody who has given plenty of talks, I can tell you this is an
awesome checklist (and most of it not specific to PyCon).
