Why doesn't execfile() set __file__? I would be surprised if this is due to an oversight by the Python devs. In both execfile and IDLE's "Run Module" I can't think of a reason not to set __file__, but perhaps this was intentional? Googling a bit hasn't brought up much. I am currently of the opinion that both IDLE and execfile() should set __file__ (with execfile() perhaps requiring more thinking about edge-cases, since it can be passes locals and globals dictionaries).
