#17143 — Getting the current directory path and the path where python script is saved

Dear all,
I would like to create a little script to rename my files, I think to 
use argparse module to create it.
I would like to know how to obtain the path where script is executed and 
the path where the file script is stored.

For example, if I save my script in c:\python27 and I put the directory 
in %path% I can execute it from any folder, I would like to get the two 
directory path.

Thanks
Sandro

Current working directory is available with os.getcwd()

The location of the script you are running may be available as
os.path.basename(sys.argv[0]).

Does this help:

In [16]: import os

In [19]: os.getcwd()
Out[19]: '/home/vince'

In [21]: os.__file__
Out[21]: '/home/vince/src/pyramid_install/lib/python2.7/os.pyc'

regards
