calling GetModuleFileName (in kernel32.dll) on sys.dllhandle should give
you the name of the current Python DLL.  something like this should work:

    from ctypes import *
    MAX_PATH = 500
    filename = c_buffer(MAX_PATH)
    windll.kernel32.GetModuleFileNameA(sys.dllhandle, filename, MAX_PATH)
    filename = filename.value
