I was wondering how to find which text file is open in the text editor. I know you can find a list of the loaded files via bpy.data.texts, but I can't seem to find a way to find the one that is being edited currently.

Active text datablocks are referenced by TextEditor spaces:
bpy.types.SpaceTextEditor.text
for area in bpy.context.screen.areas:
if area.type == 'TEXT_EDITOR':
space = area.spaces.active
print(repr(space.text))
# Example output with one visible text editor:
# bpy.data.texts['ui_menu_simple.py']
