getpath.patch: another patch written by flox. If argv[0] is set to a non existent program name, sys.executable is set to an empty string instead of a directory name. Example of the bug with Python 2.5: $ sh -c "exec -a xxx python -c 'import sys, os; print repr(sys.executable), repr(os.getcwd())'" '/home/haypo/' '/home/haypo'
