The accepted solution for this will not work if you are planning to compile your scripts using py2exe   If you re planning to do so  this is the functional equivalent   os path dirname sys argv 0     Py2exe does not provide an   file   variable   For reference   http   www py2exe org index cgi Py2exeEnvironment

If you have even the relative pathname  in this case it appears to be     you can open files relative to your script file s   I use Perl  but the same general solution can apply  I split the directory into an array of folders  then pop off the last element  the script   then push  or for you  append  on whatever I want  and then join them together again  and BAM  I have a working pathname that points to exactly where I expect it to point  relative or absolute   Of course  there are better solutions  as posted  I just kind of like mine
