I had the exact same issue  If you are using a relative path os path dirname path  will only return the relative path  os path realpath does the trick    gt  gt  gt  import os  gt  gt  gt  f   open  file txt    gt  gt  gt  os path realpath f name

The key here is the name attribute of the f object representing the opened file  You get it like that    gt  gt  gt  f   open   Users Desktop febROSTER2012 xls    gt  gt  gt  f name   Users Desktop febROSTER2012 xls    Does it help

And if you just want to get the directory name and no need for the filename coming with it  then you can do that in the following conventional way using os Python module    gt  gt  gt  import os  gt  gt  gt  f   open   Users Desktop febROSTER2012 xls    gt  gt  gt  os path dirname f name   gt  gt  gt    Users Desktop     This way you can get hold of the directory structure
