# skbio.util.get_data_path

skbio.util.get_data_path(fn, subfolder='data')

  Return path to filename `fn` in the data folder.

  State: Experimental as of 0.4.0.

  During testing it is often necessary to load data files. This function returns the full path to files in the `data` subfolder by default.

  Parameters:

    - fn (str) – File name.

    - subfolder (str, defaults to `data`) – Name of the subfolder that contains the data.

  Returns:

    Inferred absolute path to the test data for the module where `get_data_path(fn)` is called.

  Return type:

    str

  Notes

  The requested path may not point to an existing file, as its existence is not checked.
