Question

Hi. For the help menus in my CLI scripts, I like to print usage instructions like this:

print("Usage:")
print("    "+sys.argv[0]+" <command> [options]")

But Poetry seems to change sys.argv[0] to the full path of the script, instead of keeping what the user actually typed in. Why? Is there any way around this?

    import os
import sys

os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])

    @fridex That doesn't really fix the problem. If the user did type in the full path with that code, he would only get the basename.

    Ah, OK. You want to replicate the whole invocation. That makes sense 👍

    This is still an issue. I think it relates to #965.
