How can I find path to given file?

Question

I have a file, for example \"something.exe\" and I want to find path to this file
How can I do this in python?

Answer 1

Perhaps os.path.abspath() would do it:

import os
print os.path.abspath("something.exe")

If your something.exe is not in the current directory, you can pass any relative path and abspath() will resolve it.
