To get the directory of the current Python file, you can use the os.path
module in combination with the __file__
attribute. Here's how you can do it:
import os
# Get the directory of the current Python file
current_directory = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
print("Directory of the current file:", current_directory)
In this code:
__file__
is a built-in attribute in Python that represents the path to the current Python script.os.path.abspath(__file__)
obtains the absolute path to the current Python script.os.path.dirname()
extracts the directory part from the absolute path.
After running this code, current_directory
will contain the directory of the current Python file. You can then use this directory for various purposes, such as reading or writing files in the same directory.
