It seems to be whatever pathname you passed to the interpreter on the command line. If that's a relative path, it will end up in the __file__ of __main__ as a relative path. But it will still work as long as the working directory of the process hasn't changed. So either leave the cwd alone, or expand the __file__ to a full path before changing it. > Note that the impored module has a "__path__" attribute, while the > main module does not. __path__ is something different -- it's a list of directories to search when importing submodules of a package. Non-package modules don't have a __path__. > You'd like to be able to have a single, uniform > way to locate your module's data, regardless if you are __main__ > or not. There already is. I do this frequently and it works fine, as long as you keep the cwd issue in mind. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
