Python的__file__实际上做了什么？

Question

我一直认为__file__变量总是给你当前的文件名,但这似乎并不完全是它的作用.因为如果我认为这是真的,我一直面临着一个错误.

有人告诉我"这__file__是指搜索的最后一个模块"这似乎更准确,但我想知道__file__应该做什么.

我找不到Python文档中提到的任何具体内容.很多地方似乎都提到它,但不是很清楚.

Answer 1

 __file__ is the pathname of the file from which the module was loaded, if it was loaded from a file. The __file__ attribute is not present
 for C modules that are statically linked into the interpreter; for
 extension modules loaded dynamically from a shared library, it is the
 pathname of the shared library file.
