getting command line in python

[MrSmile]

Hi people!
I am looking for a way to get the command line in the script.

Let us say I am in the folder "/tmp" okay!

now from /tmp I execute in the console this:
python /home/tamer/MyApp/MyScript.py

in the app itself, I want to grep the path and the scriptname itself,
like: /home/tamer/MyApp is being somewhere available.

Under your example conditions:
sys.argv[0] will be "/home/tamer/MyApp/MyScript.py". (A)
os.getcwd() will return "/tmp". (B)

The `os.path` module is also very relevant:
http://docs.python.org/library/os.path.html

Cheers,

Have you looked in sys.argv[0]?

Except that most likely it wasn't the right answer. Take a look at
http://docs.python.org/library/argparse.html (or optparse, if you are on
Python < 2.7).

Best,
