Run script from anywhere in linux terminal

When we have a custom script in a particular directory, we navigate to that directory to run the script.

  • /usr/bin
  • /bin
etc..

Passing a file location to python

Rather than hardcoding paths in your Python script we should make use of the path operation from module OS os.path.expanduser( path )  expands the path to the user’s home directory os.path.join( path1 ,*path2*,…)  joins path elements with the appropriate separator os.sep  gives the OS dependent path separator ( /  for Linux/Unix,  \  for Windows) os.getcwd()  gives the current working directory os.path.abspath(path)  gives the OS dependent absolute path of a given path Example: >>>import os >>>path = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), 'documents', 'python', 'file.txt') >>>print (path) Result /home/user/documents/python/file.txt ## when on Ubuntu C:\Users\user\documents\python\file.txt ## when running on Windows Source link:  https://askubuntu.com/users/3940/takkat
