  Hi all,
 
  I have written a python package, which works fine, the 'root' directory

  I need to work out the path to the root directory from within the app,
  os.path gives me pythons path! - oh and its in XP.
 
  Any suggestions ?

 Hi Dave,

 app_root = os.path.abspath(sys.path[0]) or, within the main executable .py
 file, app_root = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) should do the
 trick.

 I hope this helps

Many thanks, 

Sorry for the delay - work got in the way :)

Cheers
