I'm afraid there isn't a way to get the name of the python file that is currently executing. Paraview reads the contents for the file into a string and passes the string to the interpreter, so python has no association between the string and the file. As a feature request, I think it would be reasonable to have paraview set the __file__ variable to be the name of the file before executing it.
