Call a python file from bash script (.sh) file by providing absolute path

Question

I am calling a python file result.py from a script file result.sh. Both the files are present in different folders. How can I provide an absolute path?

My result.sh code:

if [[ $1 = "Census" ]]; then
    python -u result.py --model_name mlp --dataset census

Location of python file: C:/Users/ABC/Desktop/Python/result.py

Location of script file: F:/Script/result.sh

Just put the absolute path of `result.py` in the script, what's the problem? — Barmar, Sep 23 '21 at 09:00
You may refer to the following post for absolute path: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4774054/reliable-way-for-a-bash-script-to-get-the-full-path-to-itself — Ahmed Ablak, Sep 23 '21 at 09:00
Is an absolute path really necessary in this case ? Why can't you just use the relative path `../Python/result.py` ? — The Coding Penguin, Sep 23 '21 at 09:01
Paths are relative to the user's directory, not the directory of the script. — Barmar, Sep 23 '21 at 09:01

Simply put the absolute path in the script:

if [[ $1 = "Census" ]]; then
    python -u C:/Users/ABC/Desktop/Python/result.py \
        --model_name mlp \
        --dataset census \

You could use a configuration file to hold the location, or use an environment variable. – Barmar Sep 23 '21 at 09:12
