[Tutor] python function to know the path of the program in execution *

[Spoorthi]

The below data(in blue) made me converge upon sys.path[0] for this
particular problem...I dont think it returns None if a Python script is
used. Can anyone please correct me if I am wrong

*As initialized upon program startup, the first item of this list, path[0],
is the directory containing the script that was used to invoke the Python
interpreter. If the script directory is not available (e.g. if the
interpreter is invoked interactively or if the script is read from standard
input), path[0] is the empty string, which directs Python to search modules
in the current directory first. Notice that the script directory is inserted
before the entries inserted as a result of PYTHONPATH.*
