How to properly determine current script directory?

Question

I am facing problems in _files which isn't defined if I execute the script with exec, ececfile and in _module_ which is only defined for modules.

And now I want to know which is the best way to check current script directory in Python.

 Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

Use pathlib module to perform your task, for ref. check the syntax below:

from inspect import currentframe, getframeinfo
from pathlib import Path

filename = getframeinfo(currentframe()).filename
parent = Path(filename).resolve().parent

I am using this from Python 3.4 and it also works in all versions above that, but I am not sure about the older ones.
