hello,
I'm running Python 2.5 and want my programs to run at least under
Windows and Linux (preferable also Mac).
So I guess I should always use relative paths.
From most modules I can call a global function,
that should import a dictionary from path deeper than the module itself.
The import is done in the global function.
In that global function, I get the modules path by
SourceFile = sys._getframe(1).f_code.co_filename
now to be sure to succeed the import (at least I was thinking this would
always be successful :-(
I need to
1- add the path of the module to be imported to sys.path
(or do a dot import)
2- keep track of already done imports, to give a reload the next time
(or maybe always do an import followed by an reload ?)
Now what I don't understand is what relative path should I use in 1:
- relative to the main application
- relative to the working directory were I started the application
- relative to the current working directory
- relative to the module that is doing the import
- relative to the module that called the global function
I would be pleased if someone could enlighten me,
because this information is hard to find.
thanks,
Stef Mientki
