Current Path variable in .env file

Question

Is there a way to refer to the current directory in a .env file?

Trying to point the location of a config file from userprofile, to the current path. For example,

CONFIG_FILE=${USERPROFILE}\.configs\config.cfg

I would like to set it to,

CONFIG_FILE=${CURRENTPATH}\.configs\config.cfg

I'll give that one a shot!, I've tried, `currentpath`, `currentdir`, `currentdirectory`, even `.` (dot) — spitfiredd, Mar 26 '19 at 13:36
os.path.abspath(__file__) gives the location of current file from where the code is running. os.path.dirname( os.path.abspath(__file__ )) would give the directory where you have placed your .py file . DO not forget to import os — Roushan Singh, Mar 26 '19 at 13:41
@RoushanSingh I was trying to have it load when I run `pipenv shell|run`, if I can't get that to work I will have to create a load script in my root directory. — spitfiredd, Mar 26 '19 at 13:44
@spitfiredd by the way i am still not getting what you have asked . seriously — Roushan Singh, Mar 26 '19 at 13:46
@RoushanSingh when run your `pipenv shell` is sets environment variables from a `.env` file, I wanted to point a config from from one location to another while I have an active `pipenv shell` — spitfiredd, Mar 26 '19 at 13:51

Running my program w/ pipenv on Ubuntu, I'm able to do e.g.:

SETUP_CFG=${PWD}/setup.cfg

And in Python I can do:

import os
from pathlib import Path

assert os.environ.get("SETUP_CFG") == (Path.cwd() / "setup.cfg").as_posix()
