[Tutor] Detect the folder of a file

[Oliver Bestwalter]

Hi,

>>> import sys

>>> sys.base_exec_prefix == sys.prefix
False

In a virtualenv those are different:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.base_exec_prefix

>>> sys.executable
'/home/obestwalter/.pyenv/versions/3.4.4/envs/tmp/bin/python3.4'

>>> sys.prefix
'/home/obestwalter/.pyenv/versions/3.4.4/envs/tmp'

This is the path to the virtualenv

>>> os.path.split(sys.prefix)[-1]
'tmp'

Gives you the name of the folder.

cheers
Oliver
