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

You want exactly this:

BASE_DIR = os.path.join( os.path.dirname( __file__ ), '..' )

Answer 2

From the current file path you could use:

os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),'..','img','banner.png')
