IDLE: What to use instead of sys.argv[0] ?

[Sam Schulenburg]

"E:\local\Python\Tools\idle\idle.pyw" is the default startup path for IDLE.
i.e. The present distribution places IDLE in the Tools\idle directory.
If what you want is the path of the present script that is loaded, it will
be returned by
sys.path. The problem with this, is that you get all the paths :>)
