Thanks Gabriel. I should have been more specific with my example, the problem I had was when trying to reference a non python file, so something like .../ library.zip/packageName/supportingDll.dll or .../library.zip/ packageName/supportingConfigFile.ini For the DLL case, adding the directory that __file__ lives in to the os.environ["PATH"] doesn't work.
