I've been wondering about that.  Don't you get the full path to a script when
it is run?  Otherwise how would Python know where to find the file it's
supposed to execute?  How can you open a file without knowing where it is? 
And if you do know where a script is being run from - shouldn't that be the
scripts initial working directory?
