Even though the directory containing a package's setup.py was added to
sys.path, some setup.py implementations rely on the fact that it is placed
in sys.path[0].
An example package is 'cram' which failed to be added with scanpypi:
Traceback (most recent call last):

return open(os.path.join(sys.path[0], 'README.rst')).read()
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.../buildroot/utils/README.rst'
The corresponding code from cram's setup.py is:
def long_description():
"""Get the long description from the README"""
return open(os.path.join(sys.path[0], 'README.rst')).read()
Indeed, the Python documentation says:
https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/sys.html#sys.path
"...
As initialized upon program startup, the first item of this list,
path[0], is the directory containing the script that was used to invoke
the Python interpreter.
..."
Fix this by inserting explicitly at index 0 instead of appending to
sys.path.
