Thanks for the quick and very helpful reply. Basically just copying from 
warnings.warn(), I came up with this:

import sys

class A(object):
    def __init__(self, mod=None):
        if mod is None:
            self.mod = sys._getframe(1).f_globals['__name__']
        else:
            self.mod = mod

In warnings.warn() they used try around sys._getframe(1). As far as I 
understand what is done in warnings, there it is not sure what object 
caused the warning and therefore it is not sure whether you can or 
cannot use sys._getframe(1). Though in my case it should be quite clear. 
Can I be sure that my code will always work?
