How do I get the path of the current executed file in Python?
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.abspath(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]))
, but this does not work if you are running from another Python script in another directory, and this can happen in real life.
__file__
This means using path = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
, but I found that this doesn't work:
py2exe
doesn't have a __file__
attribute, but there is a workaround execute()
there is no __file__
attribute NameError: global name '__file__' is not defined

I'm looking for a generic solution , one that would work in all above use cases.
Update
Here is the result of a testcase:
Output of python a.py (on Windows)
a.py: __file__= a.py
a.py: os.getcwd()= C:zzz
b.py: sys.argv[0]= a.py
b.py: __file__= a.py
b.py: os.getcwd()= C:zzz
a.py
#! /usr/bin/env python
import os, sys
print "a.py: sys.argv[0]=", sys.argv[0]
print "a.py: __file__=", __file__
print "a.py: os.getcwd()=", os.getcwd()
print
execfile("subdir/b.py")
subdir/b.py
#! /usr/bin/env python
import os, sys
print "b.py: sys.argv[0]=", sys.argv[0]
print "b.py: __file__=", __file__
print "b.py: os.getcwd()=", os.getcwd()
print
tree
C:.
| a.py
---subdir
b.py
You can't directly determine the location of the main script being executed. After all, sometimes the script didn't come from a file at all. For example, it could come from the interactive interpreter or dynamically generated code stored only in memory.
However, you can reliably determine the location of a module, since modules are always loaded from a file. If you create a module with the following code and put it in the same directory as your main script, then the main script can import the module and use that to locate itself.
some_path/module_locator.py:
def we_are_frozen():
# All of the modules are built-in to the interpreter, e.g., by py2exe
return hasattr(sys, "frozen")
def module_path():
encoding = sys.getfilesystemencoding()
if we_are_frozen():
return os.path.dirname(unicode(sys.executable, encoding))
return os.path.dirname(unicode(__file__, encoding))
some_path/main.py:
import module_locator
my_path = module_locator.module_path()
If you have several main scripts in different directories, you may need more than one copy of module_locator.
Of course, if your main script is loaded by some other tool that doesn't let you import modules that are co-located with your script, then you're out of luck. In cases like that, the information you're after simply doesn't exist anywhere in your program. Your best bet would be to file a bug with the authors of the tool.
First, you need to import from inspect
and os
from inspect import getsourcefile
from os.path import abspath
Next, wherever you want to find the source file from you just use
abspath(getsourcefile(lambda:0))
I was running into a similar problem, and I think this might solve the problem:
def module_path(local_function):
''' returns the module path without the use of __file__. Requires a function defined
locally in the module.
from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/729583/getting-file-path-of-imported-module'''
return os.path.abspath(inspect.getsourcefile(local_function))
It works for regular scripts and in idle. All I can say is try it out for others!
My typical usage:
from toolbox import module_path
def main():
pass # Do stuff
global __modpath__
__modpath__ = module_path(main)
Now I use __modpath__ instead of __file__.
