Make the script read from any directory - falahfakhri - Jun-15-2020

Hi,

How could I make the script read the data from any directory,

I'd like to make it something like this,

product_path = os.path.join('product_path')
user_input_dir = input('\nPlease enter your directory path\n' + product_path)

It doesn't work,

Any suggestions please!

this line is not doing anything

product_path = os.path.join('product_path')

this line will not produce the full path

user_input_dir = input('\nPlease enter your directory path\n' + product_path)

you want

user_input_dir = input('\nPlease enter your directory path\n')
product_path = os.path.join('product_path', user_input_dir) # assuming 'product path' is real dir
