Python Program to Get the Full Path of the Current Working Directory – 2025

Hey guys, in this blog we will see a Python Program to Get the Full Path of the Current Working Directory.

Example 1: Using pathlib module

import pathlib

# path of the given file
print(pathlib.Path("my_file.txt").parent.absolute())

# current working directory
print(pathlib.Path().absolute())

• To get the full path of the given file we have used pathlib.Path(“my_file.txt”).parent.absolute().
• And to get the full path of the current working directory we have used pathlib.Path().absolute().

Example 2: Using the os module

import os

# path of the given file
print(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath("my_file.txt")))

# current working directory
print(os.path.abspath(os.getcwd()))

Output

• In this example we have used os.path.dirname(‘filename’) to get the path of the filename.
• In this example we have used os.path.abspath(os.getcwd()) to get the path of the current working directory.
