Re: [Tutor] reference to directory a module is located at
Whoops. I should read more carefully. I thought he said the path to the module itself. Yes, os.path.dirname(__file__) works. If you want an absolute path (rather than a relative path), use: os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) I would find this more useful if the path will be passed around. -- ~ Matthew Strax-Haber National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center (LaRC) Co-op, Safety-Critical Avionics Systems Branch Student, Northeastern University W: 757-864-7378; C: 561-704-0029 matthew.strax-ha...@nasa.gov From: Dave Angel Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 11:48:40 -0500 To: Python Tutor Subject: Re: [Tutor] reference to directory a module is located at bob gailer wrote: > Elisha Rosensweig wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > How can I determine the directory in which a module is located, from >> > within that module? >> > sys.modules[__name__].__file__ > -- Bob Gailer Or more simply, __file__ But the OP wanted the directory, which can be extracted with method dirname: import os print __file__ print os.path.dirname(__file__) ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] reference to directory a module is located at
Try the following: import os.path os.path.abspath(__file__) This won't work in an interactive shell since it is not being executed from within a module. -- ~ Matthew Strax-Haber National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center (LaRC) Co-op, Safety-Critical Avionics Systems Branch Student, Northeastern University W: 757-864-7378; C: 561-704-0029 matthew.strax-ha...@nasa.gov From: Elisha Rosensweig Reply-To: Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 11:17:56 -0500 To: Python Tutor Subject: [Tutor] reference to directory a module is located at Hi, How can I determine the directory in which a module is located, from within that module?
