__file__ in 2.0

Hi all,

I am interested in the mcmillan installer to generate self-extracting exe's.
Unfortunately, running source/Make.py results in an AttributeError on 
exceptions.__file__ calls.

I understand that static modules (such is the case) do not define the 
__file__ attribute. Documention pointed me to use .repr() or .str() instead 
to get the filename of a loaded module. No such luck when I edit the script 
(Attribute errors again)...

Which leads me to my next question: is the mcmillan installer project 
stagnant? The release contains __file__ calls which crap out in 2.0 and 
they haven't even mentioned this on the site at all... Kinda leaves newbies 
like me scratching our heads.

And my final question: How do I call __file__ on static modules in 2.0??

Tips, advice welcome.
