Nope, maybe I'm not explaining myself well.
When I do os.getenv('HOME') I get back None.
According to the docs, 'HOME' is the user's home directory on some
platforms. Which is not what I want.
What I want is the directory in which an application's main .py file
resides. That is, when I type: python MyApp.py, I want to know in which
directory does MyApp.py reside?
Thanks,
Ron
