Using Python's os.path, how do I go up one directory?

Question

I recently upgrade Django from v1.3.1 to v1.4.

In my old settings.py I have

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(os.path.dirname( __file_         


        

Answer 1

With using os.path we can go one directory up like that

one_directory_up_path = os.path.dirname('.')

also after finding the directory you want you can join with other file/directory path

other_image_path = os.path.join(one_directory_up_path, 'other.jpg')
