Relative paths in mod_python

[Ivo van der Sangen]

I was wondering if I could use relative paths in a mod_python script. At
the moment I am defining a constant string
"/path/to/dir/where/script/resides". The problem with this is that when
I move the script including files I use to get metadata I have to change
this variable. The same problem occurs when I distribute the script; the
person using it will first have to modify it, which is not what I want. Is
it possible that a mod_python script has as current working directory
the directory where the script resides? At the moment os.getcwd()
returns '/'.
