I have a module that, when loaded, reads and parses a supporting file. The supporting file contains all the data for the module and the function that reads/parses the file sets up the data structure for the module.
How can I locate the file during the import statement. The supporting file is located in the same directory as the module, but when I import I get a No such file or directory error. I could hard code the path to the filename, but that would make it only work on my machine. A related question: Can I parse the data once and keep it somewhere instead of reading the supporting file every time? I tried pickling but that wouldn't work because I have custom classes. (Either that or I just don't know how to pickle—this is a highly probable event.) Thanks, Jeremy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
