Finding name of running script

[runes]

Is it a more pythonic way of finding the name of the running script
than these?

from os import sep
from sys import argv

print argv[0].split(sep)[-1]
# or
print locals()['__file__'].split(sep)[-1]
# or
print globals()['__file__'].split(sep)[-1]

..split(sep)[-1] is pretty dense reading.
try:
print os.basename(locals()['__file__'])

Thanks!

That's os.path.basename() I guess. It's better, but still complex.

I have a
_nof_ = argv[0].split(sep)[-1] in my script template and use it under
the usage() function to tell what the script does, like:

"cf.py counts files in directory or directory structure"

If I change the filename, I want it to be automatically reflected when
running the script. That's the motivation.

I have the feeling that I came a cross some very simple way to extract
the filename, but I can't find my mental note ;-)

Yea murphy's typo ;)

Generally I do it the very same way just spell it different.
os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])

Maybe you found some black magic ;)
