Hi all, I am new to Python, i have installed python 2.5.4 and it is my requirement.
I need to retrieve the path of filename in python. I have found some API's to get this: from os.path import realpath print realpath("NEWS.txt") # here NEWS.txt exists and it shows the path of the file as C:\Python25\WorkSpace\NEWS.txt print realpath("abc.txt") # here abc.txt does not exist but still it shows C:\Python25\WorkSpace\abc.txt can anybody tell the reason why???? Now took some safety measures: found = lexists(realpath(filename)) if found == 0: print "Not Found" else: print realpath(filename) i have given the filename as "NEWS.txt" and "abc.txt" but i am always getting the output as "Not Found" Can anyone please tell me where am i doing wrong???? also any suggestions to retrieve the filepath from a given filename is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Sudhir
