module file

[Imbaud Pierre]

I am willing to retrieve the file an imported module came from;
module.__file__, or inspect.getfile(module) only gives me the
relative file name. How do I determine the path?
Its obviously possible from python: ipython displays the information
(interactively: *module?*).
Python 2.4 on Suse 9.3 (clueless, I guess)

>>import os
os.path.abspath(module.__file__)

Apologies: module.__file__, or inspect.getfile(module) only *gave* me
the relative file name, because the module was found in the current
directory! Changing the current directory, and having the module be
found thru the path, changed the returned path to an absolute
directory!
Hence the simplest form at hand was used. Thank you, python!

Note that this works only if the current dir has not changed. So it's a good
idea to store the absolute path as early as possible (before the program
have a chance to change the current dir)
