In [4]: import os In [5]: os.curdir Out[5]: '.' or of course, os.curdir would probably be more portable. And just a little tidbit I discovered while working with a program that would change directories, but I was running from inside Ipython, if you add this to the beginning of your file: import os startpath = os.path.abspath(os.curdir) and then this to the end: os.chdir(startpath) then it will keep your ipython environment in the directory you run the file from.
