What overhead? Besides: if you want to do python this, why don't we 
introduce the function

solve_my_problems()

that is the only thing a programmer has to invoke... Seriously: Just 
because you have a usecase for __filename__ doesn't mean everybody else has.

This is neither platform independent nor less "overhead". This is:

import os
__filname__ = os.path.split(__file__)[-1]
