[wxPython-users] sys.path adjusted?

[Jorgen Bodde]

Hi Karsten,

sys.argv[0] is not always reporting the proper path and it depends on
how the script is executed.

>From the documentation:
   The list of command line arguments passed to a Python script.
argv[0] is the script name (it is operating
   system dependent whether this is a full pathname or not).

The sys.path documentation:
    As initialized upon program startup, the first item of this list,
path[0], is the directory containing the script
    that was used to invoke the Python interpreter.

The only reason when sys.path is not present is when in an interpreter
or auto invoke, otherwise they state in the documentation what
sys.path[0] is.

So to keep that path correct I see no reason why wxPython cannot
append the path either at the end or one place after the sys.path[0].

Regards,
- Jorgen
