[Scons-users] Getting directory in which Sconscript is running

[Tom Tanner (BLOOMBERG/ LONDON)]

I need to run a python script which needs a python path specified. The python modules are in a subdirectory of where the sconscript is running.

so this'd involve

PYTHONPATH=<path-to-repo>/A/B $SOURCES $TARGETS

as the source is a repository (which might live in different locations for different users) all the paths are absolute, so I thought it'd be easier to pass them in by setting env['ENV']['PYTHONPATH'] rather than putting PYTHONPATH=$(path to repo$}/A/B in the command. I might be wrong.

Tom,

Not sure what you're really trying to do, but it sounds ugly.
I've found if it's hard to do, you're probably doing it wrong..

Perhaps you can expand on the what you're trying to do, rather than the 'how you're trying to do it'..

I've found half the answer. Dir('.').path gives me A/B

Now I need to find the path of the actual directory that contains the SConscript (I know I can do os.path.dirname(File('SConscript').rstr()) but - that is not pretty)

But I don't want to do #A/B. What happens if for some reason, I want to move B (or A). Or want to share code between 2 SConscripts.

See scons 2.3.1 user guide 14.3 for more.

The '#' symbol always refers to the SConstruct dir, so you can refer as '#A' join 'B' and files stay relative to the root src dir.

I'd really like to be able to get hold of the current SConscript directory relative to the SConstruct path, so with a directory  structure in a repository a little like this:
  
+-SConstruct

|

+-A

| 

+-B

|

+-SConscript

There will be something I can do in the SConscript that will get me "A/B" (i.e. the relative directory in which things will be built), and <wherever the source is>/A/B, which is the sort of thing I need to stuff in environment variable (for instance for getting the right PYTHONPATH for running python scripts which live in a subdirectory of B).

Using Dir('.').rstr() or .rdir() will get you '.'. Throwing srcdir().abspath into the mix will get me the full path to the build directory, not the full path to the source directory.
