Answer 1

+1 A:

To get the absolute path of the current script in bash, do:

SCRIPT=$(readlink -f "$0")

Now, pass that variable as the last argument to the python script. You can get the argument from python as:

sys.argv[-1]

Another way of getting the current directory of the running bash script (with dirname command within backticks): SCRIPT='dirname $0'

This mostly works, but is nonportable, see http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/028. `$0`, like all parameters, should always be quoted.

If you don't want to pass parameters, it should also be possible to set the directory you want in the shell wrapper.
