What method can I use instead of __file__ in python?

Question

I convert my python code to c by cython and after that compile .c file and use .so in my project. My problem: I use __file__ in my python code and in while compile by gcc, it doesn't get error. but when I run program and import .so in other python files, appear an error from __file__ line.

How can solve this problem? Is there any method to replace with __file__?

Answer 1

Try to add this at the beginning of your file:

import inspect
import sys
if not hasattr(sys.modules[__name__], '__file__'):
    __file__ = inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe())
