Relative paths in Python

Question

I\'m building a simple helper script for work that will copy a couple of template files in our code base to the current directory. I don\'t, however, have the absolute path

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this applies to some of the older versions, but I believe Python 3.3 has native relative path support.

For example the following code should create a text file in the same folder as the python script:

open("text_file_name.txt", "w+t")

(note that there shouldn't be a forward or backslash at the beginning if it's a relative path)
