[Tutor] How to call the path of an input file

[Martin A. Brown]

Greetings John,

>path.

>import sys
>path = sys.argv[1]

Are you looking for os.path.abspath() [0]?

  import os
  import sys
  path = os.path.abspath(sys.argv[1])

>y = map(str.lower, path.split())

Next question:  What exactly are you trying to do with that third 
line?  It looks confused.

Good luck,

-Martin
