I'm using python v2.3.3 on a linux box.

I've just observed something that looks wrong.

I have the PYTHONPATH environment variable defined to add an application 
  specific component to the python search path.

In printing sys.path, I notice that it gets copied to both the first and 
second elements of this list.

Why twice?
