You'll have to define several terms for us:

1) "pre-compile" - Are you coding in Python, or in C, or some other 
compiled language? Microsoft C has (had?) something called pre-compiled 
headers, but they never worked very well, so I kept them disabled.
2) "the choice" - what choice would that be?
3) "this" -  what's this?
4) "current working path" - what does this mean?  Do you perhaps mean 
"current directory" aka "current working directory" ?  Or do you mean 
the path to the __main__ file?

The only thing I can understand clearly is "read data from user command 
line".  You get that from  sys.argv usually, or you can parse it with 
optparse.  Or if you need the line unmodified, AND if you're on Windows, 
you can use the win32 module to call something like GetCommandLine().  
I'd have to check that last one, though.
