Bug report

Bug description:

Take this set-up from here,
where we launch build_i.py:

.
├── scripts
│   ├── const.py
│   ├── fops.py
│   ├── i_build.py
│   └── i_Props.ini
└── build_i.py -> scripts/i_build.py

On Linux, tested with WSL2, i_build.py is able to import fops.py.
On Windows, tested with Windows 10, i_build.py is not able to import fops.py.

It could be that on Windows sys.path is not correcly changed into also
having the directory of build_i.py, which should be scripts and not the

parent directory of the file symlink.

Tested with: WSL2, Python 3.10.12
Windows 10: Python 3.12.0rc2

CPython versions tested on:

3.10, 3.12

Operating systems tested on:

Linux, Windows
