Question

I am looking to populate a list with all currently executing python scripts’ file paths – how could this be done in Python?

Thanks very much.

Answer 1

I found a nice utility that may help you. Never used it before personally.

Install with pip:

pip install psutil

Play around:

import psutil

for p in psutil.get_process_list():
    if 'python' in p.name:
        print p.cmdline

cmdline should gave you the arguments that python interpreter was started with. That may get you some of your cases.
