I'm not sure what you're missing. The __main__ module has __file__:

centurion:~ > cat tmp.py
print "__file__:", __file__
import __main__
print "__main__.__file__:", __main__.__file__

centurion:~ > python tmp.py
__file__: tmp.py
__main__.__file__: tmp.py

Improvements like that happen because someone writes the module and people
end up using it. It isn't part of the language, it's just stdlib evolution.

I prefer ksh's '**' myself. It's trivial to add, see for instance
http://www.python.org/sf/628075
Again, this isn't something for py3k.
