Every imported module is listed in sys.modules. So you could iterate through sys.modules to find the path associated with the module:

import sys
def get_module_name(mod):
    for path, module in sys.modules.items():
        if mod == module:
            return path
    raise ValueError('module not found')


from foo.bar import bar
print(get_module_name(bar))
# foo.bar.bar

Since the word namespace is reserved for a different concept, I've renamed the function get_module_name.
