Python: How do I get a reference to a module inside the module itself?

Question

How can I get a reference to a module from within that module? Also, how can I get a reference to the package containing that module?

Answer 1

import sys
current_module = sys.modules[__name__]

Answer 2

If you have a class in that module, then the __module__ property of the class is the module of the class.

Answer 3

You can get the name of the current module using __name__

The module reference can be found in the sys.modules dictionary.
