How to change the opening path of a text file when you specify only the name?

Question

Python

When I open a text file for reading or writing, specifying only the file name, vs code opens the file along the path %UserProfile%\"file name"
How to open a file located in the same folder as the code file?

Answer 1

I usually use the pathlib library - there is Path ()
Then we do something like:

my_root = Path.cwd()  # cwd - current work dir
my_file = Path(“my_file_name.txt”)
my_file_full_path = my_root / myfile

Ps You can pathlib2, but there are nuances. For most cases, pathlib is sufficient.
Pps If you still need the %UserProfile% folder, use Path.home()
