How to find the package a module belongs to ?

I don't fully understand your question, could you give 
a code sample and show how it fails your expectation.

We use a global variable in each module like this:
modname="mymodule"

And each function has a function name variable like this:
def myfunction():
    ftn="myfunction"

Then we can use the module and function name for debug and fatal errors:

def debug(ftn,txt):
    sys.stdout.write(string.join([modname,'.',ftn,':',txt,'\n'],''))
    sys.stdout.flush()

def fatal(ftn,txt):
    msg=string.join([modname,'.',ftn,':FATAL:',txt,'\n'],'')
    raise SystemExit, msg

I think this is our solution to the problem that you raise.
It would sure be nice to pull this information from some 
secret variable without having to explicitly name them.
