Getting script filepath from an imported python module

Question

Let say I have a file a/b/c.py with following content.

import mymodule
a = mymodule.MyClass()
print(a.scriptpath)

I want a.scriptpath to print a/b/c.py. Essentially, what I am asking: Is there a way for MyClass.__init__ or mymodule.__init__.py to know from which file they are being called?

Why not just instantiate the class with that information:

a = mymodule.MyClass(__file__)

Is it possible to do it without asking the user? inspect module looks promising.
