For what purpose? Given that the source may not be at that location after the program is compiled – especially, after the program is moved to a different machine – what meaning does ‘$srcdir’ have when the program is running? What “data directory” is specified by ‘$datadir’, and why is it assumed there is exactly one? > What is the right way to config directories for a Python program? We'll need to know what those concepts mean, to be able to discuss the equivalent (if any) in a Python environment. -- \ “Shepherds … look after their sheep so they can, first, fleece | `\ them and second, turn them into meat.
