is there a way to determine a relative path to the script?

Hello, I have a script in /usr/local/app/mypython.py and a configuration file relative to /usr/local/app/conf. When I call the script with an absolute path of /usr/local/app/mypthon.py I recieved an error similar to the below error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "script/art/auditlog.

Reverse order of bit in repeating seqence of byte string

I am looking for the most efficient method of replacing a repeating sequence in a byte string returned from a imaging .dll, connected via I receive the byte string with the following sequence 'bgrbgrbgrbgr' and I would like to convert this to 'rbgrbgrbgrbg' FWIW, the string is created using ctypes

Is there a better algorithm?

I have the following list of tuples: L = [(1, 2), (3, 4, 5), (6, 7)] I want to loop through the list and extract the values. The only algorithm I could think of is: >>> for i in l: ... u = None ... try: ... (k, v) = i ... except ValueError: ... (k, u, v) = i ... print k, u, v - 1 N
