I try to put a subdirectory relative to a given script on sys.path and
therefore need os.path.dirname(__file__). Filename e.g. is test.py and
it is on c:\temp:

import os
print __file__, os.path.dirname(__file__)

Python:
c:\temp\test.py c:\temp

Jython 2.5final:
test.py

So only the filename and therefor no possibility to add e.g. a libs dir
relative to this script to sys.path.

Guess this is known but could not find any hint to this problem and
possible workaround or if there is hope for Jython 2.5.1?

thanks

As far as I can tell Jython and CPython behave in the same way here. But
this could be some sort of Winblows issue.

CPython regularly assigns relative paths to __file__ as well. The proper
use in this case would be:

  scriptdir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

oops, sorry. I think I used a wrong script and your example (which I
normally use too ;) does of course work in Python and Jython (2.5.0).

file.py
    import os
    print os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), __file__

F:\temp>python file.py
F:\temp file.py

F:\temp>jython file.py
F:\temp file.py

F:\temp>jython
