If by file handle you mean the object returned by 'file' and 'open' functions, it has a name attribute. If by file handle you mean the file descriptor, i.e. the integer used for low level I/O, then there is no way I know of. I believe that number is an index in an array of 'file descriptors' somewhere inside the C library ( below python interpreter level ), but I don't know if/how an user program can access it.
