How to Get the Path of the executing frozen script

Question

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

Answer 1

Another approach which works with cxFreeze when running from another drive even using PATH:

import sys

if hasattr(sys, 'frozen'):
    print(sys.executable)
else:
    print(sys.argv[0])

From Python:

H:\Python\Examples\cxfreeze\pwdme.py

From command line:

D:\>h:\Python\Examples\cxfreeze\dist\pwdme.exe
h:\Python\Examples\cxfreeze\dist\pwdme.exe

Using PATH:

D:\>pwdme.exe
h:\Python\Examples\cxfreeze\dist\pwdme.exe
