Duplicate of: In Python, how do I get the path and name of the file that is currently executing?

I would like to find out the path to the currently executing script. I have tried os.getcwd() but that only returns the directory I ran the script from not the actual directory the script is stored.

    In Python, __file__ identifies the current Python file. Thus:

    print 'I'm inside Python file %s' % __file__ 

    will print the current Python file. Note that this works in imported Python modules, as well as scripts.
