How do you refer to the python script that you are programming inside the code without filenames? (r-CodePudding

I do not know how else to describe the question in words, so let me show you what I mean. I have a file called "pugs.py". I am making it for other people so they might change the name for it, but I need the file to be able to refer to itself inside of the code. I could make sure it is always name, but I don't want that. So, how would I exactly refer to my "pugs.py" without saying "pugs.py", but instead something like "os.thisfile"?

CodePudding user response：

Python scripts and modules have a bit of information preloaded in their global namespace. __file__ should give the filename.

import os
print(os.path.basename(__file__))

CodePudding user response：

you can use __name__ variable to get the file name in python.
