What's the difference between sys.path.insert() and sys.path.append()?

@Chaos_Is_Harmony, the difference is that the new path is added at the beginning of the list, shifting everything else to the right. It affects the order things are looked into (first or last ?). If you don't care about that, then insert(0, ...) might be slightly longer (O(N) instead of O(1) for append).
