How to get the parent dir location

Question

this code is get the templates/blog1/page.html in b.py:

path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), os.path.join(\'templates\', \'blog1/page.html\'))
         


        

Answer 1

I think use this is better:

os.path.realpath(__file__).rsplit('/', X)[0]


In [1]: __file__ = "/aParent/templates/blog1/page.html"

In [2]: os.path.realpath(__file__).rsplit('/', 3)[0]
Out[3]: '/aParent'

In [4]: __file__ = "/aParent/templates/blog1/page.html"

In [5]: os.path.realpath(__file__).rsplit('/', 1)[0]
Out[6]: '/aParent/templates/blog1'

In [7]: os.path.realpath(__file__).rsplit('/', 2)[0]
Out[8]: '/aParent/templates'

In [9]: os.path.realpath(__file__).rsplit('/', 3)[0]
Out[10]: '/aParent'
