R. David Murray added the comment: Ideally there would be an unambiguous way to know if the object came from a file or some other source (say, __file__ is None and another special attribute gives the clue to the actual source), but that's not the way things work now, and for backward compatibility reasons I doubt that we can change it. I'm sure there are programs that depend on at least '<string>', if not some of the other places where a similar thing is done.
