import os xxx = os.getcwd() will fetch the current directory. Similary, you can change it with os.chdir() It is usually better to do one of two things: 1) make the environment set the current directory - fix the debugger 2) use absolute paths throughout the code. One reason that chdir() is discouraged is that it's not clear what part of the code will still be using the original cwd, even though you think you've changed it. For example, I don't believe that sys.path is re-evaluated. Another reason is that on Windows, you have the strange characteristic that there are multiple current directories, one per drive. Most IDE's can set the current directory in the project settings, so that it'll always be the same when you run a given program. I don't know about Netbeans. -- DaveA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
