How to get path to directory of script with SpaceClaim API script

  Is there a way to get the path to a SpaceClaim API script within the script while it is executing? I need to save data to a file that will be given using a relative path from the directory of the script.
  The usual options for doing this with Python do not seem to work with the SpaceClaim API.

  For example:
  import os
  script_dir = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
  Only returns a portion of the path, but stops short several directory levels from where the actual script file is located.

  I had tried doing this as well but was unsuccessful. I think SpaceClaim internally digests the script, which removes any traceability back to the original script file. Sorry I can't be of more help.
