+- bpo-29723: The ``sys.path[0]`` initialization change for bpo-29139 caused a
+  regression by revealing an inconsistency in how sys.path is initialized when
+  executing ``__main__`` from a zipfile, directory, or other import location.
+  The interpreter now consistently avoids ever adding the import location's
+  parent directory to ``sys.path``, and ensures no other ``sys.path`` entries
+  are inadvertently modified when inserting the import location named on the
+  command line.

 - bpo-29568: Escaped percent "%%" in the format string for classic string
   formatting no longer allows any characters between two percents.
