Re: [PyX-user] Specifying Directory For Output

[David AW B. <dav...@ci...>]

You can try using:

pypath, pyfile = ospath.split(__file__)
c.writePDFfile(pypath + '/otherfolder/output')

This will put it in a subdir of the python script regardless of where 
you run it from. (I.e., you can do something like "python 
/some/absolute/path/script.py" from your home directory and it will put 
it in /some/absolute/path/otherfolder *rather than* putting it in a 
subdir of your current directory.)
