reliably finding distribution data from your program seems to be an
unsolved issue for programs packaged with distutils.
I have seen a lot of code that manipulates mod.__file__ to solve this
problem, but this *will* break for some installation schemes and has the
following problems:
* it breaks if the user specified '--install-data' to have a different
value than '--install-{pure,plat}lib'
* it makes the life of linux distribution package maintainers
unneccessarily hard, because they have to patch your code so it works
with their file system hierarchy.
* it does not work inside eggs
* it is ugly ;-)
Isn't pkgutil.get_data() what you're looking for?
I'm not sure it covers all your use cases though.
