How do I get the full path of the current file's directory?

Question

I want to get the current file\'s directory path. I tried:

>>> os.path.abspath(__file__)
\'C:\\\\python27\\\\test.py\'

But how can

Answer 1

I found the following commands will all return the full path of the parent directory of a Python 3.6 script.

Python 3.6 Script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3.6
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from pathlib import Path

#Get the absolute path of a Python3.6 script
dir1 = Path().resolve()  #Make the path absolute, resolving any symlinks.
dir2 = Path().absolute() #See @RonKalian answer 
dir3 = Path(__file__).parent.absolute() #See @Arminius answer 

print(f'dir1={dir1}\ndir2={dir2}\ndir3={dir3}')

Explanation links: .resolve(), .absolute(), Path(file).parent().absolute()
