How to open file from child class directory by parent class method?

Question

Python

There is a parent class machine in the machine folder. There is a child class machine5 in the machine 5 folder. I know how to get the directory of the current script via os.getcwd() and os.path.dirname, but this gives the parent class folder because the method is physically described in it. Can I somehow refer to the folder of the child class that this method calls? Should I send the address directly to the method?

Answer 1

You can use this class method:

import sys

class Machine:
   
    @classmethod
    def get_file_v1(cls) -> str:
        return sys.modules[cls.__module__].__file__

PS: Quite an interesting problem. I will need it myself.
