Running a python file in a directory

This may be a basic question but is there any difference in these two:

First:

cd /dir/
python run.py

Second:

python /dir/run.py

It seems previously executing them in these different ways seemed to cause different results, but it may be down to another factor.

The __file__ variable is set differently so it will have impact on calling resources inside your script (different relative paths).
