[issue11344] Add height argument to os.path.dirname()

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

As for use cases, I have used it quite commonly in test scripts in order to find out the base directory of the source tree (and/or other resources such as data files).

e.g.:

basepath = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)))
