If you import fb, fb.__path__[0] will be a relative path to the
directory that produced fb.

If you import fb.b, fb.b.__file__ will be the name of the file that
was loaded to create module b (usu. a *.pyc, *.py, or *.pyo file).

You can use the sys.argv[0] and os.path tricks to find your answers
from there, I think?
