从数据文件读取

Question

I am trying to read from a txt file I am including with my pyqt application.

The problem I am having is that the os.path.dirname(__file__) is returning the directory where the module that houses finding the data file exists not the directory where main() lives. In this case a subdirectory of the application directory not the application directory.

Is there a way to always return the directory where main() is being called from ?

That or can I get the directory to this text file in main() and pass it to Mainform() somehow ?

The reason for all this is because I want to put the .txt in the same directory as main.py so when I deploy my frozen application the text file can be found. (on OSX and WIN)

Thanks

A setup like this may work for you:

main.py

import other

def main():
    print other.get_data_files_dir()

main()

other.py

import os
import sys

def get_data_files_dir():
    namespace = sys._getframe(1).f_globals  # caller's globals
    return os.path.dirname(namespace['__file__'])
