Did you read the linked issue?
http://bugs.python.org/issue18416

I don't know how you got that link. Learn to use the general index 
listed on the contents page and top right of every page. For underscore 
names, https://docs.python.org/3/genindex-_.html. __file__ will lead you 
to the module entry in Chapter 3 Data model, section 2 The standard type 
hierarchy. Looking up module/namespace gets you to the same place. It is 
possible that the discussion of '__file__' should be slightly revised in 
light of the What's new entry.
