Python - Full path

[Joveice]

Hello,

I have tried a few things to get the full path of a file, but no luck.

 

This is what I use now but it adds a +a or +r at the end which makes it look for etc file.txt/+a

 

script_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
data = json.load(open(os.path.join(script_dir, 'config.json')))

How can I solve this? I need it for crontab so it runs in the correct location, and the location may change so it can't be hard coded.

I have used that one, just gives me the totalt path to my home folder.

Actually, you should be able to plop it right here:

 

script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
data = json.load(open(os.path.join(script_dir, 'config.json')))

import os
path = str(os.getcwd()) + '/' + filename
