you're passing a function (os.getcwd) to dirname, not a directory name.
>>> os.getcwd
<built-in function getcwd>
>>> os.getcwd()
'/home/fredrik'
if you fix that, you get
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.getcwd())) + ...
which is the same as
os.path.dirname(os.getcwd()) + ...
maybe you meant
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.getcwd()), os.path.basename(os.getcwd()))
?
that's a rather odd way to write:
os.getcwd()
