The full path to the script is stored in sys.argv[0]

Of course the script may not import B directly, so it may not have such 
an import statement.  If you're not looking for the script, but for the 
particular module that imports you, I don't know of a way. Naturally, 
it'd be a list of modules, not a single one.

Why not have the A module invoke a function in B, giving its own name?
