How to get the absolute path

os.path.abspath(path) returns a string version of the absolute path of the path specified.


import os

print os.path.abspath(".")
print os.path.abspath("..")

os.chdir(path) changes the current working directory.


# from  w  w w .  ja  va  2s. co  m
import os

os.chdir("/test")
print os.path.abspath(".")
