Hi,
Ricado proposed a new and better solution already. Nevertheless I want
to comment on this proposal, sint it includes a pitfall and would not work:

Indeed for Python programs it is quite common to revert to the filename
using the variable "__file__". And if feeding in the script from stdin
would set __file__ to "<stdin>". Using __file__ is more often used in
package modules than in scripts (which could use $0 (sys.argv[0]).
Anyway this is a pitfall we should avoid.
Please not that Ricardo's new solution, based on guile and execl does
not suffer from this problem (I verified).
