I’m looking for the most Pythonic and reliable way to set the path of the working directory.
- Using
__file__:
import os
script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
- Using
sysmodule:
import os
import sys
script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0]))
- Using
Pathfrompathlib:
from pathlib import Path
script_dir = Path(__file__).resolve().parent
