    If you want the path to the currently executing file (and not the working directory) use the 

    __file__

    variable. You should note that this is the current file being run. So if you use it in an imported module, you’ll get the path to the module, etc.. 

    fH = file(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'someFile.txt'), 'w')
fH.write('here is my string')
fH.close()
