Returning the path of a file

I've search the Beazley book as well as the Python reference materials
and can't find answers to these two basically simple questions:

1) How to return the path of a file previously opened in read-only
mode?

	myfile = open("foo")

I know I can do something like

	os.getcwd()

and this is where 'myfile' is, but if the file was opened by some
other method, I would like to be able to interrogate where it was
opened from.


2) Is there a builtin or method to delete a file or do I have to
execute an os process to do this?
