    <p>If you are running a frozen python script (frozen using py2exe) from a directory and drive different from where the script is present, what is the best way to determine the path of the executing script?</p> <p>Few solutions I have tried</p> <pre><code>inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe()) </code></pre> <p><strong>Problem: Does not return the full path. It only returns the script name.</strong></p> <pre><code>os.path.abspath( __file__ ) </code></pre> <p><strong>Problem: Doesn't work on Windows</strong></p> <pre><code>os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]) </code></pre> <p><strong>Problem: Returns empty string.</strong></p> <pre><code>os.path.abspath(inspect.getsourcefile(way3)) </code></pre> <p><strong>Will not work if the drive is different from the pwd</strong></p> <pre><code>os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[0])) </code></pre> <p><strong>Will not work if the drive is different from the pwd</strong></p> <p>Here is a minimal not-working example</p> <pre><code>D:\&gt;path PATH=c:\Python27\;c:\Users\abhibhat\Desktop\ToBeRemoved\spam\dist\;c:\gnuwin32\bin D:\&gt;cat c:\Users\abhibhat\Desktop\ToBeRemoved\spam\eggs.py import os, inspect, sys def way1(): return os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]) def way2(): return inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe()) def way3(): return os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(sys.argv[0])) def way4(): try: return os.path.abspath( __file__ ) except NameError: return "Not Found" def way5(): return os.path.abspath(inspect.getsourcefile(way3)) if __name__ == '__main__': print "Path to this script is",way1() print "Path to this script is",way2() print "Path to this script is",way3() print "Path to this script is",way4() print "Path to this script is",way5() D:\&gt;eggs Path to this script is Path to this script is eggs.py Path to this script is D:\ Path to this script is Not Found </code></pre> <p><strong>Related Questions:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2259503/how-to-know-the-path-of-the-running-script-in-python">How to know the path of the running script in Python?</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50499/in-python-how-do-i-get-the-path-and-name-of-the-file-that-is-currently-executin">How do I get the path and name of the file that is currently executing?</a></li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/595305/python-path-of-script">python, path of script [closed]</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Note</strong></p> <p>@Fenikso's solution will work if the script resides on the same drive where you are executing but when its on a different drive, it will not work</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
