Question

I have a Python module and I’d like to get that modules directory from inside itself. I want to do this because I have some files that I’d like to reference relative to the module.

Answer 1

First you need to get a reference to the module inside itself.

mod = sys.__modules__[__name__]

Then you can use __file__ to get to the module file.

mod.__file__

Its directory is a dirname of that.
