Log command used to run the python script

Question

I have a python Script (Ex : myscript.py) with some Options which i can launch from my terminal :

myscript -n name - a age

which will print in my terminal :

10/15/2021 10:47:57 AM [INFO] # Script launched
10/15/2021 10:47:58 AM [INFO] # Your Name : name, Your age : age

How can modify my script, in which way it will log also the command launched at the beginning, like add logging.info("the command launched : {}.format(string_of_command)") :

10/15/2021 10:47:57 AM [INFO] # Script launched
10/15/2021 10:47:57 AM [INFO] # command used : myscript -n name - a age 
10/15/2021 10:47:59 AM [INFO] # Your Name : name, Your age : age

"I want to modify my script" -> then do it, we dont know your code — Wonka

Okay, and what exactly is preventing you from solving the problem yourself? What have you tried thus far? For example, did you try putting python get command line into a search engine? What happened when you did that? — Karl Knechtel

Maybe you can use the argv variable of sys module using the code like below

print(f"{' '.join(sys.argv)}")

So in your case it would be like this

string_of_command = f"{' '.join(sys.argv)}"
logging.info("the command launched : {}.format(string_of_command)")

thanks for the hint, it gives the full path of the script.py also and options used, So I wil use some regex to keep only the useful part !

Can you try this one - os.path.basename(sys.argv[0]). And please accept the answer if this helps
