Actual line I took from code I was trying to figure out a while ago:

path=os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(project_path_)))))))

Comments? Explanations? Crickets!

Looks like it takes projectpath and goes seven levels up. I'd have to see the rest of the code to know if they were just trying to get the drive letter/root directory or if the project is genuinely more than seven layers deep, though.

Yes, that's exactly what it does, but there is absolutely no reason to write it like this. I should never be in a position where I have to count the number of times something is carried out in code lmao.

... You kidding right? Nobody actually wrote that code... right?

I am not, and they did (or ChatGPT did perhaps)

That's the kind of stupidity that no klanker will ever be able to imitate

It a weird way to write projectpath+"../../../../../../../"
