I got module name which contains declaration of <code>os.path.isfile</code>. Jedi lib gave me <code>genericpath</code> (without file path). Now i want to get full filename of PY file with this <code>genericpath</code> module. E.g. "C:\Py27\Lib\genericpath.py". How can I do it? Jedi cannot do it?

Like this: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>>>> import re >>> re.__file__ '/usr/lib/python2.7/re.pyc' </code></pre> For packages that are not part of the Python core, you can also use <code>__path__</code>: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>>>> import requests >>> requests.__file__ '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests-1.1.0-py2.7.egg/requests/__init__.pyc' >>> requests.__path__ ['/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests-1.1.0-py2.7.egg/requests'] </code></pre>

Like this:

>>> import re
>>> re.__file__
'/usr/lib/python2.7/re.pyc'

For packages that are not part of the Python core, you can also use __path__:

>>> import requests
>>> requests.__file__
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests-1.1.0-py2.7.egg/requests/__init__.pyc'
>>> requests.__path__
['/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests-1.1.0-py2.7.egg/requests']
