Getting file path of imported module [duplicate]

Question

How can I get the file path of a module imported in python. I am using Linux (if it matters).

Eg: if I am in my home dir and import a module, it should return back the full path of my home directory.

Answer 1

Modules and packages have a __file__ attribute that has its path information. If the module was imported relative to current working directory, you'll probably want to get its absolute path.

import os.path import my_module  print(os.path.abspath(my_module.__file__))
