How to find the location of the configuration file passed as argument to Python script?

I think the title of the question is descriptive enough.

How can one find the location of the configuration file which is passed as an argument to a python script.

I would like to create a backup of the config file but copying it to another location.

You can join current working folder to the argument path to get an absolute path.

import os
import sys

if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    full_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), sys.argv[1])
    print(full_path)
