Relative imports broken in the notebook (Windows)

[rossant]

It seems like relative imports do not work anymore in my notebooks since 6590fa5.
I'm on Windows 8 64 bits, Python 2.7.5.

Odd, I can't see how that would have affected import machinery. Can you give an example of a failing case?

[rossant]

Weird. It only happens on my default profile, not in a fresh profile (I have a few startup scripts). Let me investigate further...

[rossant]

Very weird. No startup script = no problem. Add an empty .py file in .ipython/profile_default/startup, and relative imports do not work anymore!

Test notebook:

# <codecell>
%%writefile mymodule.py
a = 1

# <codecell>
import mymodule

Hmm, I see that as well. Weird.

It's not actually a relative import, though - it's an absolute import, it's just that the CWD isn't getting added to sys.path, for some reason.

OK, after some frenzied debugging with frequent cries of 'what?', Min has a fix on the way.
