I know this is going to come as a shocker, but it's called
"container".  :-D

Seriously, if you want the folder in which a Python Script is
located, you want "container".  If you want the folder in whose
context the script was called (i.e. by acquisition), then you
want "context".

So, in fact you just wrote what you need -- try it as is.
