How to find out the directory that the py file is in?

[PengYu.UT]

I have the following python script and some_command in the same
directory. I have to call the python script from that directory.
Otherwise, some_command won't be found. I'm wondering how to make the
following script working no matter what the working directory is.

Thanks,
Peng

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os

cmd = "./some_command";
print cmd
os.system(cmd);

print os.path.abspath(__file__)

How to get the absolute dir name which the file is in? Is there any
function can be called easily?

Thanks,
Peng

import os
print os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

That would be

os.path.split(os.path.abspath(__file__))[0]

You *are* planning to read the documentation at some stage, right? ;-)

More simple:

os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
