[Paraview] location of python plugin macro

[pat marion]

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.
