current working directory when python file in subfolder

When I run uv run marimo edit subfolder/hello.py and then type

import os
print(os.getcwd())

import os
print(os.getcwd())

I'll get

/Users/jan-hendrik/projects/okapi

/Users/jan-hendrik/projects/okapi

without the subfoloder. Therefore my question: Is there a way to start marimo, so that the python cwd is directly in the subfolder?

my current workaround:

cd subfolder
uv run marimo edit hello.py

cd subfolder
uv run marimo edit hello.py

you would need to cd into the directory. I always use mo.notebook_dir() in all my notebooks so they are compatible wherever they are run (and when run as a script)

import marimo as mo
pl.read_csv(mo.notebook_dir()  / "data" / "my.csv")

import marimo as mo
pl.read_csv(mo.notebook_dir()  / "data" / "my.csv")
