filename and line number of Python script

How do I get the number of lines in a file in Python?

Use readlines() to get Line Count This is the most straightforward way to count the number of lines in a text file in Python. The readlines() method reads all lines from a file and stores it in a list. Next, use the len() function to find the length of the list which is nothing but total lines present in a file.


Thanks to mcandre, the answer is:

#python3
from inspect import currentframe, getframeinfo

frameinfo = getframeinfo(currentframe())

print(frameinfo.filename, frameinfo.lineno)

Whether you use currentframe().f_back depends on whether you are using a function or not.

Calling inspect directly:

from inspect import currentframe, getframeinfo

cf = currentframe()
filename = getframeinfo(cf).filename

print "This is line 5, python says line ", cf.f_lineno 
print "The filename is ", filename

Calling a function that does it for you:

from inspect import currentframe

def get_linenumber():
    cf = currentframe()
    return cf.f_back.f_lineno

print "This is line 7, python says line ", get_linenumber()

Handy if used in a common file - prints file name, line number and function of the caller:

import inspect
def getLineInfo():
    print(inspect.stack()[1][1],":",inspect.stack()[1][2],":",
          inspect.stack()[1][3])

Filename:

__file__
# or
sys.argv[0]

Line:

inspect.currentframe().f_lineno

(not inspect.currentframe().f_back.f_lineno as mentioned above)


Better to use sys also-

print dir(sys._getframe())
print dir(sys._getframe().f_lineno)
print sys._getframe().f_lineno

The output is:

['__class__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', 'f_back', 'f_builtins', 'f_code', 'f_exc_traceback', 'f_exc_type', 'f_exc_value', 'f_globals', 'f_lasti', 'f_lineno', 'f_locals', 'f_restricted', 'f_trace']
['__abs__', '__add__', '__and__', '__class__', '__cmp__', '__coerce__', '__delattr__', '__div__', '__divmod__', '__doc__', '__float__', '__floordiv__', '__format__', '__getattribute__', '__getnewargs__', '__hash__', '__hex__', '__index__', '__init__', '__int__', '__invert__', '__long__', '__lshift__', '__mod__', '__mul__', '__neg__', '__new__', '__nonzero__', '__oct__', '__or__', '__pos__', '__pow__', '__radd__', '__rand__', '__rdiv__', '__rdivmod__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__rfloordiv__', '__rlshift__', '__rmod__', '__rmul__', '__ror__', '__rpow__', '__rrshift__', '__rshift__', '__rsub__', '__rtruediv__', '__rxor__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__sub__', '__subclasshook__', '__truediv__', '__trunc__', '__xor__', 'bit_length', 'conjugate', 'denominator', 'imag', 'numerator', 'real']

In Python 3 you can use a variation on:

def Deb(msg = None):
  print(f"Debug {sys._getframe().f_back.f_lineno}: {msg if msg is not None else ''}")

In code, you can then use:

Deb("Some useful information")
Deb()

To produce:

123: Some useful information
124:

Where the 123 and 124 are the lines that the calls are made from.
