$ cat check_stuff.py 
import sys

def test_main():
    print("sys.modules['__main__']=%r"
          % sys.modules['__main__'])
    print("sys.modules['__main__'].__file__=%r"
          % sys.modules['__main__'].__file__)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    test_main()
(pyhead) ogrisel at is146148:~/tmp$ python check_stuff.py 
sys.modules['__main__']=<module '__main__' from 'check_stuff.py'>
sys.modules['__main__'].__file__='check_stuff.py'
(pyhead) ogrisel at is146148:~/tmp$ nosetests -s check_stuff.py 
sys.modules['__main__']=<module '__main__' from '/volatile/ogrisel/envs/pyhead/bin/nosetests'>
sys.modules['__main__'].__file__='/volatile/ogrisel/envs/pyhead/bin/nosetests'
