Python3 - How to get back folder?

Question

My file main py. is in the root directory of my project, example:

"C:\Projetos\PyValidacao\main.py"

With the module os I can take the real path of main py., but I need to make you create a folder inside "C:\Projetos". The problem is that I can’t get it back to the folder from the root of the project.

How to get back the directory with the module os ? There’s something better for that purpose ?

Answer 1

I was able to solve using the "abspath" function as follows:

return os.path.abspath(r"..\")

That way it returned a directory as I wanted.
