That's awesome.  It's easy to see how these and other 
'preprocessor-like' constructs could be wrapped into a convenient 
module.  But the leading and trailing double-underscores, and the 
all-caps function names, seem very un-python.  (It's not really going to 
look like C, anyway, since the client code will need parentheses after 
the pseudo-macro names.)  What would be more pythonic?  Maybe something 
like this?

     # srcinfo.py
     import inspect
     import sys

     def line():
             try:
                     raise Exception
             except:
                     return sys.exc_info()[2].tb_frame.f_back.f_lineno
     def file():
             return inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_filename

     if __name__ == '__main__':
             print "%s: %d" % (file(), line())

     # client.py
     import srcinfo

     if __name__ == '__main__':
             try:
                     # Whatever.
                     raise Exception, "hello"
             except Exception, x:
                     print ('warning: %s: %d: %s' %
                             (srcinfo.file(), srcinfo.line(), x))
