One thing I hate about Python executables, at least the ones I've seen installed in Debian/Ubuntu is that the ones in /usr/bin are wrappers to execute somewhere in your site-packages.

I just want to see the full script where I execute it.

Can you show an example of that?

    Good thing you asked before I destroyed this ubuntu instance I was messing with:

        root@t:~# cat $(which scapy)
    ++ which scapy
    + cat /usr/bin/scapy
    #!/usr/bin/python3
    # EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT: 'scapy==2.5.0','console_scripts','scapy'
    import re
    import sys
    
    # for compatibility with easy_install; see #2198
    __requires__ = 'scapy==2.5.0'
    
    try:
        from importlib.metadata import distribution
    except ImportError:
        try:
            from importlib_metadata import distribution
        except ImportError:
            from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
    
    
    def importlib_load_entry_point(spec, group, name):
        dist_name, _, _ = spec.partition('==')
        matches = (
            entry_point
            for entry_point in distribution(dist_name).entry_points
            if entry_point.group == group and entry_point.name == name
        )
        return next(matches).load()
    
    
    globals().setdefault('load_entry_point', importlib_load_entry_point)
    
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
        sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw?|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
        sys.exit(load_entry_point('scapy==2.5.0', 'console_scripts', 'scapy')())
