Finding the location of a program/file Python

Here is my code to find the name of the active window. I now need to be able to find the location of the program.

 import win32gui
 window = win32gui.GetForegroundWindow()
 active_window_name = win32gui.GetWindowText(window)
 print(active_window_name)

How do i find the location of the program and file using either the name or anything else with out manually inputting the name.

I'm assuming you want to find the location of the file as in the directory path. There's multiple ways to do this, and the easiest one looks like this:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
