Summary: edit with pythonwin - importing issue

Initial Comment:
There is a feature that I have been using for quite a while in PythonWin that is no longer working the way it once was and that is when you right-click on a .py file and click "edit in pythonwin".  Normally when I do this and it opens pythonwin, I can import files within the interpreter that happen to be located in the same folder.  After editing this file, if I attempt to import a file in the interpreter it does not find the file.

The way I have had to fix this is by running the following command every time I open pythonwin:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '')

After I have done this, pythonwin seems to do what it use to do and allows me to import files in the same directory as the file that I right-clicked on and said "edit with pythonwin".

Note: This feature worked on version 2.5 and below.

Message:
This will be due to various things no longer changing the cwd of the
process.  If hitting File->Import or File->Run on the module fails due to
import errors for modules in the same directory, then I would consider that
a bug, in which case please re-open.

Thanks
