Unusual, pretty annoying behaviour of python bindings

Hello,
using ROOT 5.14.00g and the python bindings I have this script:

myscript.py:

import os

print 'Let\'s Rock'
from ROOT import gROOT

os.system('pwd')

if I do:
mkdir mydir
python myscript.py mydir

the output tells me that I am in directory mydir!! How can the interaction with any of the ROOT module's attributes or classes change the directory?

Cheers,
