Use included XML files in deployed server

I have xml files that reside in the directory like this
src
|---lib
| |---folder
| | |---XML files
| |---script.py
|---app.py
The app.py file runs the codes in script.py, and in script.py it requires the XML files. When I run the server locally (window) I can just use the relative path "lib\folder\'xml files'". But when I deploy my server to Cloud Run, it says the files don't exist.
I've tried to specify the absolute path by doing this in script.py
package_directory = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
path = os.path.join(package_directory, "folder\'xml files")
and tried changing all backward dash to forward dash, but the error still occurs.
In the dockerfile, I had this:
ENV APP_HOME /app
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
COPY . ./
which I believe to copy everything in the src folder except things specified in .dockerignore, which I had these insides:
Dockerfile
README.md
*.pyc
*.pyo
*.pyd
__pycache__
.pytest_cache

Because Cloud Run requires a container, a good test for you would be to create the container and run it locally. I suspect that it's your container that's incorrect rather than Cloud Run.
I created the following repro of your code:
.
├── app.py
├── Dockerfile
└── lib
├── folder
│   └── XML files
│   └── test
├── __init__.py
└── script.py
app.py:
from lib import script
script.foo()
script.py:
import os
def foo():
package_directory = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
path = os.path.join(package_directory, "folder/XML files")
for f in os.listdir(path):
if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(path,f)):
print(f)
Dockerfile:
FROM docker.io/python:3.9.9
ENV APP_HOME /app
WORKDIR ${APP_HOME}
COPY . ./
ENTRYPOINT ["python","app.py"]
And, when I build|run the container, it correctly reports test:
Q="70734734"
podman build \
--tag=${Q} \
--file=./Dockerfile \
.
podman run \
--interactive --tty \
localhost/${Q}
I'm confident that, if I were to push it to Cloud Run, it would work correctly there too.
NOTE
Try to avoid spaces in directory names; os.path.join accommodates spaces
You describe XML files but your code references xml files

Django: Startapp Generated files into existing project folder

I want to place django app files into generated Django project folder .
MyProject/
MyProject/
settings.py
urls.py
here i want to insert my Django app files like, views.py, admin.py, models.py etc into same MyProject folder itself. we can do the same by copy paste after app was created. but i want to know is their any magic we can achieve the same while executing this command?
django-admin startapp MyApp <directory>
I dont want to create Myapp folder instead Myapp/* should be move onto Myproject/ itself. without doing copy paste thing.
so finally i want my Project folder should be like this,
MyProject/
MyProject/
admin.py
models.py
settings.py
urls.py
views.py

command to run from same direcory. If you change directory then change in path also:
django-admin startproject myproject
django-admin startapp myapp myproject\myproject\
command sample:
E:\write here>django-admin startproject myproject
E:\write here>dir myproject\myproject
Volume in drive E has no label.
Volume Serial Number is ****-****
Directory of E:\write here\myproject\myproject
03-06-2017 11.53 AM <DIR> .
03-06-2017 11.53 AM <DIR> ..
03-06-2017 11.53 AM 3,103 settings.py
03-06-2017 11.53 AM 766 urls.py
03-06-2017 11.53 AM 396 wsgi.py
03-06-2017 11.53 AM 0 __init__.py
4 File(s) 4,265 bytes
2 Dir(s) 80,954,753,024 bytes free
E:\write here>django-admin startapp myapp myproject\myproject\
CommandError: E:\write here\myproject\myproject\__init__.py already exists, overlaying a project or app into an existing directory won't replace conflicting files
don't worry about above error because it is just notifying you that __init__.py is not to be overwrite.

I cannot ignore pycache and db.sqlite on Django even though it refers them at .gitignore

I'd like to ignore the changes of pycache and db.sqlite of Django project. I refer them at .gitignore,however git catches the variation of them. Could you tell me what is problem if you know it?
I attached my .gitignore at the end of sentence.

As follows, I've solved the problem.
git rm -r --cached . # will delete whole git history, use with caution
git add .
git commit -m
git push ~

As an alternative to git rm -r --cached . in the #lalala's answer, you can target the files you actually want to delete from the cache using git rm --cached <filename>.
This is generally more desirable since it leaves the other files untouched. You may use metacharacters like *.sqlite in place of <filename> to target even more files.

Pinax Structure

I have just installed the Pinax but i'm very confused now.
in my structre
i have two directories
mysite and mysite-env
I dont why i have two directories. I just followed the installitation directions
in mysite,
<project-root>
apps/
__init__.py
deploy/
__init__.py
fcgi.py
wsgi.py
fixtures/
initial_data.json
locale/
...
requirements/
base.txt
project.txt
sitemedia/static // I move static file from mysite-env to here
...
templates/
_footer.html
homepage.html
site_base.html
__init__.py
manage.py
settings.py
urls.py
However,
default index page is in mysite-env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pinax_theme_bootstrap/templates/banner_base.html
Should i manage my site from mysite ?

Pinax uses virtualenv to prevent messing up your local python libs by your project dependency.
So, launch the site with $ source mysite-env/bin/activate it will be fine. If you really hate mysite-env, just skip the virtualenv part.
