No, it wouldn't be a guess, it would be based on where the compiled bytecode was actually found (wherever in foo.__path__ that may have been). So __file__ would be the same regardless of whether or not the source code was actually physically present or not. __compiled__ would be set only if the code being executed was read from that file rather than from __file__.
