import os
import os.path
import shutil
You find your current directory:
d = os.getcwd() #Gets the current working directory
Then you change one directory up:
os.chdir("..") #Go up one directory from working directory
Then you can get a tupple/list of all the directories, for one directory up:
o = [os.path.join(d,o) for o in os.listdir(d) if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(d,o))] # Gets all directories in the folder as a tuple
Then you can search the tuple for the directory you want and open the file in that directory:
for item in o:
if os.path.exists(item + '\\testfile.txt'):
file = item + '\\testfile.txt'
Then you can do stuf with the full file path 'file'
