My Python application includes some data files that need to be accessed by modules I distribute with it.
Where can I put them, and how should I arrange my code, so that it works across platforms? On Linux, I could install the data to "/usr/lib/myprogram/datafile", and on Windows to "datafile" relative to where the executable (made by py2exe) is installed. Then I could detect the operating system, and choose appropriately. To be that explicit seems undesirable. Any cleverer ideas? Tom (Please CC me on replies: I'm not subscribed.
