Find absolute path of the libraries folder from within a library?

Processing Libraries
1

I’m currenty writing a library for using Quantum annealers with processing.
However run programs on these I need my library to run python scripts and for that I first need my library to be able to find them.
Is there an easy way of finding the library folder?

Hi @NumericPrime
If you can include the Python scripts with your sketch you can try using:

setup() {
 String path = this.dataPath("");
   //format this for your OS, / for Unix, \\ for Win
   path = path + "\\PyScript.py";
}

You will need to put the scripts in a folder called ‘data’ in your root sketch folder. I find this to be the easiest method of finding resources necessary for the sketch. Java’s getPath() and getAbsolutePath() usually will return the path of the Processing.exe application.

dataPath()

final String path = dataPath("PyScript.py");
