I have been using absolute paths in my programs, but
want to get out of the habit as I try to run them on
other computers. I was surprised to find that this
type of reference didn't work:
path = '/subfolder/myfile.py'
Pathnames are relative by default. So:
'myfile.py'
would be the file myfile.py in the current directory.
'subfolder/myfile.py'
would be myfile.py inside subfolder, which is below the current directory.
It's the initial / character which makes it absolute, and start from the
root directory.
