Hi,

there`s a problem with getting the current working directory while starting python scripts/plugins. Here's an quick example of what it looks like.

Code:

# main import's
import sys
import os

# Shared resources
BASE_RESOURCE_PATH = os.path.join( os.getcwd().replace( ";", "" ), "resources" )
sys.path.append( os.path.join( BASE_RESOURCE_PATH, "lib" ) )

print BASE_RESOURCE_PATH
print sys.path

Results in ..

Due to this bug its impossible to run any python script or plugin within the Linux port of XBMC that make use of it (almost all).
