After doing a little testing, it seems that realpath was in fact
improved between 2.4 and 2.5. I need to stick with 2.4, so the
abspath() call is still necessary for me.
Regardless, the answer to my question is that there's no good built-in
way to do this. Even the code above fails for some cases (say the
symlink is named just "c"), making the problem non-trivial. To me,
this is a failure of python's "batteries included". Is this worthy of
a PEP? I'd like to add something like "__absfile__" or maybe
"os.path.absolute_script_path()".
Sample implementation:
def scriptpath():
from inspect import currentframe
file = currentframe().f_back.f_locals.get('__file__', None)
if file.endswith(".pyc"): file = file.rstrip("c")
from os.path import realpath, abspath
return realpath(abspath(file))
Testing:
