How can I get path/name of the softlink to my python script when executing it

[Pascal Chambon]

Hello

I fear that in this case the whole indirection operations on softlink 
occur only in the shell, and that the final command is only executed as 
if it were called directly on the real file...

Have you tried typing "python ./waf", to see how the resolution occurs 
in that case ?

Regards,
Pascal
