Find current directory and file's directory

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the file constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

---

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()
