Hi,
I was mistaken in last reply. __path__ attribute exists only for packages.
You should use __file__ attribute. It works for packages and modules too.

>>> import lastfm
>>> from lastfm import api
>>> api.__file__
'c:\\python25\\lib\\site-packages\\lastfm-0.1-py2.5.egg\\lastfm\\api.pyc'
>>> lastfm.__file__
'c:\\python25\\lib\\site-packages\\lastfm-0.1-py2.5.egg\\lastfm\\__init__.pyc'


Cheers
