To be unambiguous, it's best to copy an interactive example
showing the error happening, and paste it into your post.
Plz help the helpers ;-)

That is getting the __file__ attribute of a module, it it exists
(which it will if the module was imported from a file, not built-in, etc.)

Example in Python source (or are you writing a C extension?)

 >>> import urllib
 >>> urllib.__file__
 'D:\\python22\\lib\\urllib.pyc'
 >>> import math
 >>> math.__file__
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
 AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__file__'
 >>> math
 <module 'math' (built-in)>
 >>> urllib
 <module 'urllib' from 'D:\python22\lib\urllib.pyc'>
