what is running python?

[Todd Widup]

is there a way to find out what program called the python script that is running?

IE, if its running in Maya, Soft, Houdini, idle, or something else even.

thanks

I have done something like this with the sys module.

import sys
print(sys.executable)

Then you get the path to the interpreter running on your script and can parse it (for example for "mayapy") and make some decisions.

Stackoverflow

Python Docs

Maybe there are also other, better ways!

Cheers,

Timm

Hi Todd,

yeah, this should work:

import sys

print sys.executable

Cheers, Martin

Take a look at sys.executable

Returns the path to the python executable.

On mac I get this from mayapy:

'/Applications/Autodesk/maya2015/Maya.app/Contents/bin/../Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python’

compared to running straight python:

'/usr/local/opt/python/bin/python2.7'

import sys

print sys.executable
