I think you meant to test for "__main__", but anyway, this should be  
enough:
currentDir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
or perhaps os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)). Try to determine  
that early in your program because __file__ may contain a relative path  
(and will give a wrong result after changing the current directory).
