I found myself running the wrong version of files because I'd used "--suite-path ~/<path>", which was put literally into sys.path, where it had no effect. This is easy to fix with a call to "os.path.expanduser()":

Maybe this would be an easy usability feature, and also might apply to other paths supplied by the user, either on the CLI or the config files?
