Be aware with this. It is different when you do

/usr/bin/python prog.py

and

./prog.py

In the first case, sys.argv[0] will be /usr/bin/python!

You should better use 

os.path.abspath(__file__)

(that will work for normal python programs, but not for py2exe compiled 
programs or for modules imported from a zip file...)

Best,
