tutorial: get rid of local_appdir ideally #57

Closed marksantcroos closed 10 years ago

marksantcroos commented 10 years ago

"pwd" would do. (But dont want to work on that part now)

andre-merzky commented 10 years ago

but, as you said in the chat, pwd is the working directory -- which is usually the one were your shell is when calling the program, which may not really be what we mean with local_appdir... I don't like the variable either, really, but am not sure what the better solution is...

But we are talking about a tutorial here, right? Where we can instruct the user to cd into the directory.

Which in all likelihood they would do anyway (I would at least, to check the files!). It might not be perfect, but it probably prevails over an hardcoded path in the repo I think.

If you want to go beyond these two, we could get path from the location of the module. But that probably adds more complexity than it solves problems.
