If the effective current directory ('', which can be set with Debug > 
Initial Directory project property and defaults to project location) is 
the same as /home/aklaver/software_projects/greenhouse_app then maybe 
it's leading to duplication somehow.

This would be a bug, however.  Contrary to what I wrote yesterday, the 
Source Browser doesn't look at Python Path but only what's in the 
project.  That is why it shows one entry for each copy of a file/class.

Given that, omitting site-packages from the Project view should solve 
the problem w/o actually removing the site-packages on disk.  Doing this 
should also make Search in Files w/ Project Files and Open From Project 
and other project-based features more useful and reduces the chances of 
opening the wrong file to edit.

Sorry, somehow I didn't think this through entirely yesterday and got 
confused into thinking Python Path is used.

If that doesn't help w/ removing the duplication in Source Browser 
please let me know.  I am not seeing in the code how duplicate Python 
Path entries could result in duplicate Source Browser entries but I can 
take a closer look if you find that is indeed the cause.
