Running `python` interpreter will import `readline.py` file in current directory.
It causes unexpected code execution.

This problem is reported by 'Japan Vulnerability Notes' as a bug on
Windows version Python http://jvn.jp/jp/JVN49503705/

It says that when we run Windows version python will import `readline.pyd` file in current directory. And it may run unexpected codes with permission assigned to python.exe.

The line causing this problem may be...
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/2.7/Lib/code.py#L303


Should it be considered as vulnerability of python (or Windows version python)?
