Possibly not very reliable in every situation (doctests, other pythons, 
...) but this is what I do:


---------  aa.py --------------
import __main__ as CALLER

def mynameis():
     print CALLER.__file__

---------  bb.py --------------

import aa

def whosthere():
     aa.mynameis()

whosthere()

-------------------------------

OUTPUT: bb.py
