Question

But it return the full path including the file.

C:\\python27\\test.py

Where as I just need

C:\\python27\\

Answer 1

try this

import os
print os.getcwd()

Answer 2

If you mean the directory of the script being run:

import os
os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

Though, calling abspath isn't necessary since dirname will give you a proper directory name.

If you mean the current working directory:

import os
os.getcwd()

Answer 3

import os
print os.path.dirname(__file__)
