Return Type: This method returns a string value which represents the directory name from the specified path.
__file__ is a variable that contains the path to the module that is currently being imported. Python creates a __file__ variable for itself when it is about to import a module.
os.path. abspath (path) Return a normalized absolutized version of the pathname path. On most platforms, this is equivalent to calling the function normpath() as follows: normpath(join(os.getcwd(), path)) . Changed in version 3.6: Accepts a path-like object.
os. path. join combines path names into one complete path. This means that you can merge multiple parts of a path into one, instead of hard-coding every path name manually.
Because os.path.abspath = os.path.dirname + os.path.basename does not hold. we rather have
os.path.dirname(filename) + os.path.basename(filename) == filename
Both dirname() and basename() only split the passed filename into components without taking into account the current directory. If you want to also consider the current directory, you have to do so explicitly.
To get the dirname of the absolute path, use
os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
can be used also like that:
dirname(dirname(abspath(__file__)))
import os.path
dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__) or '.'
os.path.split(os.path.realpath(__file__))[0]
os.path.realpath(__file__)return the abspath of the current script; os.path.split(abspath)[0] return the current dir
