How do I dynamically set the path of a file Python?

Question

I am collaborating with a friend. We are working on the same script. The script loads a file. We both access the file in different locations(not the working directory).

I don't want any friction when downloading his script and running it on my local computer. One way I thought about was setting the path as one of the parametres of the script. What approach would you recommend I am using a conda environment, maybe one can set some environment variables?

Answer 1

If you use file for example in a function just pass file path as a parameter. Thats the simplest solution, but it works well.
