open file on mac

[tinauser]

hi, sorry if it is a stupid qustio,but i cannot figure out where's the
problem.
i've a simpleModule:
class Starter:
def init(self,num):
print "hithere!"
print "the answer is ",num
import sys,os
print "path:",sys.path


try:
#f = open("/Users/lguerrasio/myfold/initfile.py",'r')
f = open("initfile.py",'r')
f.close()
print "huurray!"
except IOError:
print "The file does not exist, exiting gracefully"
print "This line will always print"


The module is located in the same folder of initfile.py
now,from terminal I import sys and add to the path the folder /Users/
lguerrasio/myfold; the I import the module and execute
simpleModule.Starter().init(48)

on mac I get an error if i do not give the full path of initfile.py
(commented out in the code above);
on windows i did not have this problem.
Am I missing anything?

open("initfile.py") opens initfile.py in the current working directory
(if you don't do anything funny, that's location where the interpreter
is started up in). I assume that you somehow start your interpreter
somewhere different on your Mac.

But that's just a guess. I don't know enough about Macs and your
environment(s) to say for sure.

Only guessing here, but try launching python after you cd to the folder
containing initfile.py, then start python ...
