How do I make a executable compiled with pyinstaller find its own name? I need this to make it copy itself to startup. Or is there another way to achieve this?
file only finds the original name of the script, not the executable.

This sounds like very unusual behaviour. Why? – asongtoruin Sep 13 '17 at 09:00

More details would be beneficial as your question is very unclear. – Gall Sep 13 '17 at 09:06

Let's say I compile test.py to no_test.exe with Pyinstaller. How do I make the script know that its own name is no_test.exe? – Jorrit Wegman Sep 13 '17 at 09:18

Hope this solves your problem
import os
import sys
# uncompiled file.py can be found by
file_name = os.path.basename(__file__)
# compiled file.exe can find itself by
file_name = os.path.basename(sys.executable)
# and path to py or exe
current_path = os.path.realpath(sys.executable)
current_path = os.path.realpath(__file__)
