This is not really the same thing as issue 946373. That one seems to be about adding script's directory as the first thing in sys.path. Comments there seem to mix both interactive ('' in sys.path) and non-interactive (os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0])) in sys.path) python uses, while CVE-2008-5983 is only about '' in sys.path, mostly related to embedded use, rather than for python interpreter itself.
