No problem - inserting '' is what the switch does currently. A security
conscious script should really be clobbering sys.path anyway so that it only
contains the locations the script needs.
As for the other part (requiring absolute imports), I can put a footnote in
the tutorial somewhere.
If anyone complains bitterly about the limitation, there's always 2.6 :)
