copied!<p>Assuming that both your directories are real Python packages (do have the <code>__init__.py</code> file inside them), here is a safe solution for inclusion of modules relatively to the location of the script.</p> <p>I assume that you want to do this, because you need to include a set of modules with your script. I use this in production in several products and works in many special scenarios like: scripts called from another directory or executed with python execute instead of opening a new interpreter.</p> <pre><code> import os, sys, inspect # realpath() will make your script run, even if you symlink it :) cmd_folder = os.path.realpath(os.path.abspath(os.path.split(inspect.getfile( inspect.currentframe() ))[0])) if cmd_folder not in sys.path: sys.path.insert(0, cmd_folder) # Use this if you want to include modules from a subfolder cmd_subfolder = os.path.realpath(os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.split(inspect.getfile( inspect.currentframe() ))[0],"subfolder"))) if cmd_subfolder not in sys.path: sys.path.insert(0, cmd_subfolder) # Info: # cmd_folder = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) # DO NOT USE __file__ !!! # __file__ fails if the script is called in different ways on Windows. # __file__ fails if someone does os.chdir() before. # sys.argv[0] also fails, because it doesn't not always contains the path. </code></pre> <p>As a bonus, this approach does let you force Python to use your module instead of the ones installed on the system.</p> <p>Warning! I don't really know what is happening when current module is inside an <code>egg</code> file. It probably fails too.</p>
