import sys, os, os.path, inspect

#os.chdir("..")

if '__file__' not in locals():
	__file__ = inspect.getframeinfo(inspect.currentframe())[0]

print os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

If you uncommnt os.chdir, the test will fail. Is there any workaround for this that is not dependent of current running directory?
