You can try using:
pypath, pyfile = ospath.split(__file__)
c.writePDFfile(pypath + '/otherfolder/output')
This will put it in a subdir of the python script regardless of where
you run it from. (I.e., you can do something like "python
/some/absolute/path/script.py" from your home directory and it will put
it in /some/absolute/path/otherfolder *rather than* putting it in a
subdir of your current directory.)
