Title
Body
I have a Python module which uses some resources in a subdirectory of the module directory. After searching around on stack overflow and finding related answers, I managed to direct the module to the resources by using something like import os os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'fonts/myfont.ttf') This works fine when I call the module from elsewhere, but it breaks when I call the module after changing the current working directory. The problem is that the contents of __file__ are a relative path, which doesn't take into account the fact that I changed the directory: >>> mymodule.__file__ 'mymodule/__init__.pyc' >>> os.chdir('..') >>> mymodule.__file__ 'mymodule/__init__.pyc' How can I encode the absolute path in __file__ , or barring that, how can I access my resources in the module no matter what the current working directory is? Thanks!
