What path is represented by "../" in python?

In this code:

import scipy.io as scpio
scpio.loadmat('../data/file.mat')

Which path is represented by '../', and how can I print this path?

I am running anaconda, and I assumed that '../' would represent the home directory in parentheses before each anaconda command prompt line, but that guess was incorrect.

You can make use of os.path.realpath

from os import path as op
op.realpath('../')

the ../ usually means the directory above your cwd
