Situation: We know that the below will check if the script has been called directly.
if __name__ == '__main__':
print "Called directly"
else:
print "Imported by other python files"
Problem: The else
clause is only a generic one and will run as long as the script was not called directly.
Question: Is there any way to get which file it was imported in, if it is not called directly?
Additional information: Below is an example of how I envisioned the code would be like, just that I do no know what to put in <something>
.
if __name__ == '__main__':
print "Called directly"
elif <something> == "fileA.py":
print "Called from fileA.py"
elif <something> == "fileB.py":
print "Called from fileB.py"
else:
print "Called from other files"
Try this:-
import sys
print sys.modules['__main__'].__file__
