I have a python script in the following location:

 $ realpath pymatgen-affine_matrix.py 
/home/werner/pymatgen-gap-affine_matrix/pymatgen-affine_matrix.py

When I use this script to do some development work in the wing IDE, it's convenient to read some related files on the system based on the directory location of this script. For this purpose, I try to use the following code snippet in this script:

import os,sys
script_dirname1=os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
script_dirname2=os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0]))
print(script_dirname1)
print(script_dirname2)

But the above code snippet doesn't work while running them interactively with wing IDE:

import os,sys
script_dirname1=os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
script_dirname2=os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.argv[0]))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  Python Shell, prompt 8, line 2
builtins.NameError: name '__file__' is not defined
print(script_dirname1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  Python Shell, prompt 9, line 1
builtins.NameError: name 'script_dirname1' is not defined
print(script_dirname2)
/home

I want to know if there are any clever methods to solve this problem.

P.S. I have understood the problem according to the comments here:

I think what you want to do is run in the debugger, set a breakpoint on the last line, and use the Debug Probe. Evaluating in the Python Shell is (roughly) the equivalent of copying the text from the file and then pasting it into the Python Shell so there's no __file__ set.

We plan to add an option to the debugger to stop just before the program exits.

Cheers,
