My question is so simple I'm surprised I can't find an answer
somewhere. I'm interested if I can rely on the order of the
directories in the sys.path list. When I'm running a file from the
comand line like
python tellusim.py
The string in entry sys.path[0] appears to be the full path to the
location of the file I'm running in this case tellusim ... i.e. it
looks like '/Volumes/scone2/codes/tellusim0006'. This is good because
for my code I need to create a search path for modules that is
relative to the location of this file irrespective of the location I'm
in when I invoke the script file (i.e. I could be in /Volumes/scone2
and invoke it by 'python codes/tellusim0006/tellusim.py').
The question is can I rely on entry [0] in sys.path always being the
directory in which the original file resides (& across linux, OSX and
Windows)? If not what is the reliable way of getting that information?
