Python: Dynamically obtain absolute path of project_folder

 / Published in: Python
 

Hard-coding absolute paths is never ideal so here's a quick way to reference your project folder

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. ############################
  2. #This can be dynamically obtained
  3. ############################
  4. #TEMPLATE_DIRS  +=('/Users/user_name/Desktop/django_project/templates/',)
  5.  
  6. ############################
  7. #With a little abspath magic
  8. ############################
  9. import os.path
  10. PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) 
  11. TEMPLATE_DIRS += (os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, "templates"),)
