In one of my python programs has a data file I need to load. My solution was to say:

       if os.path.exists(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "config.xml")):
           self.cfgfile = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "config.xml")

Which works fine... as long as you're *in* the script's home directory when you run it (as in, run it as: ./startApp.py as opposed to ./myApp/startApp.py).

If I run it from an alternate directory the program looks for the config.xml file in my current directory not the app's home directory. So how do I get the script's home directory?

import os.path dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__)

// m
