sys.argv[0] doesn't always contain the full path of running script.

Yes indeed! But the path to the module will not be the same as the path to
the script if you are currently in an imported module. Consider this:
my_script.py:
---------------------------
import my_module
---------------------------
my_module.py:
---------------------------
print __file__
---------------------------
Running "python test.py" now prints /path/to/my_module.py, not
/path/to/my_script.py.
