recently switched almost entirely to python with the help of numpy, scipy,

Newbie question:
Let's say I open a new file for writing in a certain path. How do I
get that path back?
Example:
f = open('/some/path/file.ext')
some_function(f)
'/some/path/file.ext'
Does some_function(f) already exist? And if not, how would I define
it?
