Hi ,
Is there any python function to know the path of the python program under execution.?
If someone executes a program , he should come to know the path of the program..!!
ex. suppose a user ABC is running prog.py which is in ~ directory, the user currently is in XYZ directory. 


[ ABC at localhost XYZ ]$ python ~/prog.py         
The program's location is ~/prog.py

This should be the outcome of the program.

I tried with os.getcwd()
os.getcwd() will return /path/to/folder/XYZ.



Any suggestions?
 
Thanks,

I think this is what you want:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.argv[0]
'C:\\Python26\\testingscripts\\lowdir.py'
>>>
