Initial Code 
import os 
def rel(*x):
    return os.path.normcase(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), *x))
Initial URL 

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Description
                                        

                                    

                                    
Sometimes (ex. django templates section at setting.py), a function expects an absolute path, but it's more practical when developing to refer it to the current file position in our code base. The rel function does exactly that.

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Title
                                        

                                    

                                    
Get an absolute from a path relative to the current file
