Perhaps I'm confused: a) are we talking about multiple Python program[me]s, or b) multiple data-files which will be accessed by the same code? a) Python will set the current directory according to where/how it is started from the command-line. b) consider that a file is addressed by more than just its name. Let's over-simplify and talk about it having a "file-name", and having a location which is described by a "path". Python will happily choose a file based upon its "file-name" only - which implies that it is located in the "current working directory"; or you can use both components, eg open( os.path.join( path, file_name )... So, now by setting the "path" according to "that folder", and adding the requisite file-name(s), will that answer the need? Remember that a path may be "absolute" or "relative", according to need. -- Regards, =dn -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
