What's the most reliable way for "module code" to determine the
absolute path of the working directory at the start of execution?
(By "module code" I mean code that lives in a file that is not
meant to be run as a script, but rather it is meant to be loaded
as the result of some import statement
As far as I've been able to determine, Python does not remember
(immutably, that is) the working directory at the program's start-up,
or, if it does, it does not officially expose this information.
Does anyone know why this is? Is there a PEP stating the rationale
for it?
Thanks!
