How to get the path of files using python os library

[sp3234]

unable to find the path to directory with os library

Hi @sp3234​ 

When using the local file APIs to read and write to dbfs paths, you should reference using "/dbfs/..." rather than "dbfs/..."

Here's an example that compares the result of local file APIs to using the %fs magic keyword in a notebook cell.

Being a web developer I've used this:

>>> import os >>> os.path.abspath("C:/example/cwd/mydir/myfile.txt") 'C:/example/cwd/mydir/myfile.txt'

I am working with Magento 2 extensions development company and i am a python developer since 5 years here is my answer.

 Python program to explain os.getcwd() method 

# importing os module 

import

os 

# Get the current working 

# directory (CWD) 

cwd 

=

os.getcwd() 

# Print the current working 

# directory (CWD) 

print

(

"Current working directory:"

) 

print

(cwd)

Hi,

os.getcwd() simply prints '/databricks/driver' for me irrespective of the location of the file..

Ideally I would like to get "/dbfs/FileStore/shared_uploads/krishna@company.com/Project_Folder"

Thanks

In my opinion, it's hard to get the path of files using python os library. As a programmer who is engaged in software development for small business, I'm interested in the answer too.
