I want to set the path to the images dir..in my Django project...it is working fine but when i run the script on FreeBSD it is not working...

import os 

imagesDirPath = (os.path.dirname(__file__)) + "/couponRestApiApp/stores/images/"
print imagesDirPath

output: /home/vaibhav/TRAC/coupon-rest-api/couponRestApi/couponRestApiApp/stores/images/

Above is working on my system but when tried it on freeBSD i get:

/couponRestApiApp/stores/images/

but it should be

/home/vaibhav/coupon-rest-api/couponRestApi/couponRestApiApp/stores/images/

Can someone tell me what is wrong...

Did you try `os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))`? – Bakuriu May 10 '13 at 14:41

This is *not* a FreeBSD problem but a problem how you invoke the script. `__file__` is not guaranteed to be an absolute path. – Martijn Pieters May 10 '13 at 14:43
