>>> os.path.join(os.pardir, os.path.dirname('/a/b/c/d/e/f.log'))
'/a/b/c/d/e'
>>> os.path.join(os.pardir, os.path.dirname(_))
'/a/b/c/d'
>>> os.path.join(os.pardir, os.path.dirname(_))
'/a/b/c'
>>> os.path.join(os.pardir, os.path.dirname(_))
'/a/b'
>>> os.path.join(os.pardir, os.path.dirname(_))
'/a'
>>> os.path.join(os.pardir, os.path.dirname(_))
'/'
>>> os.path.join(os.pardir, os.path.dirname(_))
'/'

(When using the interactive interpreter, an underscore '_' means 'the
previous result')
