sys.arg[0] gives me the python script. For example ‘python hello.py’ returns hello.py for sys.arg[0].

sys.arg[0] gives me the python script. For example ‘python hello.py’ returns hello.py for sys.arg[0]. But I need to know where the hello.py is located in full path.

How can I do that with python?

    import sys
    print(sys.path[0])
    

    From the docs:

    As initialized upon program startup,
    the first item of this list, sys.path[0],
    is the directory containing the script
    that was used to invoke the Python
    interpreter.
