Actually, sys.path[0] is *always* the absolute path of the script directory -- regardless of whether you invoked the script by a relative path or an absolute one, and regardless of whether you're importing 'site' -- at least on Linux and Cygwin and WIndows, for all Python versions I've used regularly, and 3.2 besides. It isn't the value of cwd unless you happen to run a script from the same directory as the script itself. But even then, it's absolute, and not an empty string: the empty string is only present for interactive sessions.
