This is a 2.7 only bug.

F:\Python\mypy\tem2.py
----
print (__file__)

__file__ should be set to relative or absolute path.

From command line:

F:\Python\mypy> c:/programs/python27/python.exe tem2.py
tem2.py

F:\Python\mypy> c:/programs/python27/python.exe -m tem2
F:\Python\mypy\tem2.py

3.3 gives same results.

From Idle editor window with Run Module (F5):

3.3: >>>
F:\Python\mypy\tem2.py
# same as python -m above, and same as when file is imported.

2.7: >>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:\Python\mypy\tem2.py", line 1, in <module>
    print (__file__)
NameError: name '__file__' is not defined

This is the bug to be fixed, if reasonably possible.

Both 2.7 and 3.3 set __file__ on regular import (or rather, Idle does not disable this).

>>> import tem2
F:\Python\mypy\tem2.py

I think the first step should be to try this on non-Windows systems.
