import os
# you have to be in the same directory as the file
file = 'myfile.txt'
# or also
file = 'directory/to/myfile.txt'
path = os.path.abspath(file)
>>> import os
>>> os.path.abspath("mydir/myfile.txt")
'C:/example/cwd/mydir/myfile.txt'# Basic syntax:
import os
os.path.basename('/path/to/filename.txt')
# Example usage:
os.path.basename('/path/to/filename.txt')
--> filename.txt
# Note, to get the path instead of the filename, use:
os.path.dirname('/path/to/filename.txt')
--> /path/to
