I apologize in advance for coming at this from this angle but... In PHP you have the __FILE__ constant which gives you the value of the absolute path of the file you're in (as opposed to the main script file.) With the function dirname, this makes it easy to get the parent dir of a particular file from within that file:
$parent_dir = dirname(__FILE__); I'm looking for the best way to accomplish this in Python. This seems to work: parent_dir = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(os.path.abspath(__file__), '..')) Can anyone confirm the reliability of this method or suggest a better (one-line) method for accomplishing this? Thanks, Tom -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
