access Firestore serviceAccountKey.json file in code

I have serviceAccountKey.json file in project root directory which I need to refer in this line of code of one of the python script.

cred = credentials.Certificate('\\serviceAccountKey.json')
firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred)

 but while deployment it fails giving error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\\serviceAccountKey.json'

 Please help me how to refer to serviceAccountKey.json file in script which need to be deployed in scrapinghub .

NOTE: I also tried using 

os.getcwd() + "/serviceAccountKey.json"

and 

os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)) + "/serviceAccountKey.json"

pkgutil already reads the content. I guess this could work:


data = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '../resources/file.json')

Thanks I have already tried this solution but didn't worked for me. But certificate funtion doesn't take file contents, it takes filename as parameter. Please suggest something to pass file as parameter.
