This little Library returns the path of the executed Python Script.
Finding the name of the program from which a Python module is running can be trickier than it would seem at first, so lets make it damned easy.
This works under pycharm, pytest, pytest-docrunner, uwsgi, dreampie etc. correctly.
You might dive into Dough Hellmans `article `_
about that issue.
.. code-block::
$> python -m pip install lib_programname
$> python
>>> import lib_programname
>>> path_to_program = lib_programname.get_path_executed_script() # type: pathlib.Path
This also works now if the script does not have any extension and if the scripts is symlinked.
In case the script is called via a symlink, the actual script location is returned, not the symlink !
.. code-block::
$ # the test script
$ cat test.py
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import lib_programname
# this returns the fully resolved path to the launched python program
path_to_program = lib_programname.get_path_executed_script() # type: pathlib.Path
print(path_to_program)
$ # running the script directly works
$ ./test.py
/Users/tester/test.py
$ # running the script with a .py named symlink works
$ ln -s test.py link2test.py
$ ./link2test.py
/Users/tester/test.py
$ rm link2test.py
$ # running the script with a symlink without an extension works
$ ln -s test.py link2test
$ ./link2test
/Users/tester/test.py
$ rm link2test
$ # running the script directly also works if it has no extension
$ mv test.py testme
$ ./testme
/Users/tester/testme
$ # running the extension-less script with a .py named symlink works
$ ln -s testme link2test.py
$ ./link2test.py
/Users/tester/testme

Try it Online
-------------
You might try it right away in Jupyter Notebook by using the "launch binder" badge, or click `here `_
Usage
-----------
.. code-block:: python
import lib_programname
# this returns the fully resolved path to the launched python program
path_to_program = lib_programname.get_path_executed_script() # type: pathlib.Path
Usage from Commandline
------------------------
.. code-block::
Usage: lib_programname [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...
get reliably the name of the executed script
Options:
--version Show the version and exit.
--traceback / --no-traceback return traceback information on cli
-h, --help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
info get program informations
Installation and Upgrade
------------------------
- Before You start, its highly recommended to update pip and setup tools:
.. code-block::
python -m pip --upgrade pip
python -m pip --upgrade setuptools
- to install the latest release from PyPi via pip (recommended):
.. code-block::
python -m pip install --upgrade lib_programname
- to install the latest release from PyPi via pip, including test dependencies:
.. code-block::
python -m pip install --upgrade lib_programname[test]
- to install the latest version from github via pip:
.. code-block::
python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/bitranox/lib_programname.git
- include it into Your requirements.txt:
.. code-block::
# Insert following line in Your requirements.txt:
# for the latest Release on pypi:
lib_programname
# for the latest development version :
lib_programname @ git+https://github.com/bitranox/lib_programname.git
# to install and upgrade all modules mentioned in requirements.txt:
python -m pip install --upgrade -r //requirements.txt
- to install the latest development version, including test dependencies from source code:
.. code-block::
# cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/bitranox/lib_programname.git
$ cd lib_programname
python -m pip install -e .[test]
- via makefile:
makefiles are a very convenient way to install. Here we can do much more,
like installing virtual environments, clean caches and so on.
.. code-block:: shell
# from Your shell's homedirectory:
$ git clone https://github.com/bitranox/lib_programname.git
$ cd lib_programname
# to run the tests:
$ make test
# to install the package
$ make install
# to clean the package
$ make clean
# uninstall the package
$ make uninstall
Requirements
------------
following modules will be automatically installed :
.. code-block:: bash
## Project Requirements
click
cli_exit_tools
lib_detect_testenv
