How to find out the path of a program using Python?

Question

Python

I know the name of the program and I need to find out the full path to it using Python code

Answer 1

For Linux:

import subprocess

proc = subprocess.Popen('which ls', shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
out = proc.communicate()
print(out)

Replace 'which ls' with your program 'which you_command'
