title: Struggling to append a relative path to my sys.path
body: <p>So there are a lot of pretty similar questions but none of the answers seems to satisfy what I'm looking for.  </p>
  
  <p>Essentially I am running a python script using an absolute directory in the command line.<br>
  Within this file itself, I want to import a module/file,I currently use an absolute path to do this (<code>sys.path.append(/....)</code>.<br>
  But I would like to use a relative path, relative to the script itself.<br>
  All I seem to be able to do is append a path relative to my present working directory.</p>
  
  <p>How do I do this?</p>
