Short description of error
file path from the script editor prints different path such as .blend instead of .py file...

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
import bpy
print ('dirname', bpy.path.abspath(file))
dirname /Users/lukas/Documents/blender-love/JOB/blender-blend-job/blend-job_11_cat_no_drivers.blend/python_script_35_menu.py

print('dirname: ', os.path.dirname(file))
dirname /Users/lukas/Documents/blender-love/JOB/blender-blend-job/blend-job_11_cat_no_drivers.blend

Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks.

This is working as-intended.

The file in this case it just an identifier since the script doesn't necessarily link to a file, if it does - it doesn't necessarily match the contents in Blender.
