I have two python files

file1.py at location /home/nitesh/loc1

import sys
SCRIPT_DIR = Path(sys.path[0])

file2.py at location /home/nitesh/loc2

from file1 import SCRIPT_DIR

I am calling file2.py. Expecting SCRIPT_DIR to /home/nitesh/loc1 but getting /home/nitesh/loc2

How to acheive this

Using the special variable `__file__` you get: `SCRIPT_DIR = pathlib.Path(__file__).parent`. – Matthias Jan 19 '22 at 07:43
