I would like to find out the path to the currently executing script. I have tried os.getcwd() but that only returns the directory I ran the script from not the actual directory the script is stored.

Answer 1

How about using sys.path[0]

You can do something like
'print os.path.join(sys.path[0], sys.argv[0])'

Answer 2

In Python, __file__ identifies the current Python file. Thus:

print "I'm inside Python file %s" % __file__

will print the current Python file. Note that this works in imported Python modules, as well as scripts.
