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

If the code is coming from a file, you can get its full name

sys._getframe().f_code.co_filename

You can also retrieve the function name as f_code.co_name
