How can I get the .exe name using Python?

I have multiple Python scripts and I formed an .exe using pyinstaller. How do i get the name of the exe?

I tried

file_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
print(file_path)

exename = os.path.basename(__file__)
print(exename)

USER_NAME = getpass.getuser()
bat_path = r'C:\Users\%s\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup' % USER_NAME
print(bat_path)

with open(bat_path + '\\' + "open.bat", "w+") as bat_file:
    bat_file.write(r'start "" %s' % file_path)

and it's writing this on the .bat file:

start "" C:\Users\sg\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI235882

Is this correct? When I tried running this on the terminal I got an error, I was expecting

start "" C:\Users\sg\AppData\Local\Temp\<my executable name>

This looks different

Solution

  • You can use sys.executable to get the executable file
