Package: lib-programname
lib_programnameVersion v2.0.9 as of 2023-07-14 seeChangelogThis 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 Hellmansarticleabout that issue.$> python -m pip install lib_programname
$> python
>>> import lib_programname
>>> path_to_program = lib_programname.get_path_executed_script()    # type: pathlib.PathThis also works now if the script does not have any extension and if the scripts is symlinked.In case the script is called via a symlink, the actual script location is returned, not the symlink !$ # 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

$ rm link2test.py

$ # running the script with a symlink without an extension works
$ ln -s test.py link2test

$ rm link2test

$ # running the script directly also works if it has no extension
$ mv test.py testme

python -m pip --upgrade setuptoolsto install the latest release from PyPi via pip (recommended):python -m pip install --upgrade lib_programnameto install the latest release from PyPi via pip, including test dependencies:python -m pip install --upgrade lib_programname[test]to install the latest version from github via pip:python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/bitranox/lib_programname.gitinclude it into Your requirements.txt:# 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 /<path>/requirements.txtto install the latest development version, including test dependencies from source code:# 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.# from Your shell's homedirectory:$gitclonehttps://github.com/bitranox/lib_programname.git$cdlib_programname# to run the tests:$maketest# to install the package$makeinstall# to clean the package$makeclean# uninstall the package$makeuninstallRequirementsfollowing modules will be automatically installed :## Project Requirementsclickcli_exit_toolslib_detect_testenvAcknowledgementsspecial thanks to “uncle bob” Robert C.
