On OSX the IDE (the macho version) starts with / is the working directory. If you're trying out some code this may have interesting consequences.

It may be a good idea to chdir() either to the users' home directory or the users' desktop folder if the IDE has been started from the finder (which can be deduced from the presence of the -psn_xxxx in sys.argv[1]).
