And you might be confused about what the current working directory is. It is not, in general, the directory containing the .py file in which you are running at the time. It is (unless explicitly changed) the working directory of the shell at the time python was started. For example, if your current directory is /home/me and you type, at the shell, "tmp/foo.py", or "/home/me/tmp/foo.py", and foo executes os.getcwd(), it will get "/home/me", not "/home/me/tmp". So when using the development server, os.getcwd() will typically return the directory containing manage.py (the "project directory"). I'm not sure about the modwsgi case.
