How do I get the path of the current executed file in Python?

Question

This may seem like a newbie question, but it is not. Some common approaches don\'t work in all cases:

sys.argv[0]

This means using path = os.path.abs

Answer 1

this solution is robust even in executables

import inspect, os.path

filename = inspect.getframeinfo(inspect.currentframe()).filename
path     = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(filename))
