    Issue #18416: Have importlib.machinery.PathFinder treat '' as the cwd · 5d348335
    Brett Cannon authored
    and stop importlib.machinery.FileFinder treating '' as '.'.
    
    Previous PathFinder transformed '' into '.' which led to __file__ for
    modules imported from the cwd to always be relative paths. This meant
    the values of the attribute were wrong as soon as the cwd changed.
    This change now means that as long as the site module is run (which
    makes all entries in sys.path absolute) then all values for __file__
    will also be absolute unless it's for __main__ when specified by file
    path in a relative way (modules imported by runpy will have an
    absolute path).
    
    Now that PathFinder is no longer treating '' as '.' it only makes
    sense for FileFinder to stop doing so as well. Now no transformation
    is performed for the directory given to the __init__ method.
    
    Thanks to Madison May for the initial patch.
