import rootdir

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print(rootdir.root_dir(__file__))

sample

Refer to the following sample project¹ to better understand and efficiently use rootdir.

.
└── example/
├── a/
│   └── a_1.py
├── b/
│   ├── b_1/
│   │   ├── b_1_1/
│   │   │   └── b_1_1_1.py
│   │   └── b_1_2.py
│   └── b_2.py
├── main.py
└── __root__.py

Once you add __root__.py, you can find the root directory from anywhere using rootdir.
For example, in b_1_1_1.py, you can find the rootdir as shown below.

import rootdir

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print(rootdir.root_dir(__file__))

You can find the root directory using above code not only in b_1_1_1.py but also in b_1_2.py, b_2.py, or any other file in the project.
