If you want a way that will work regardless if your module is run
interactively, imported, or just run by itself, this is a solution that
will always work:
:: \wherever\wherever\ (the directory your module is in,
obviously somewhere where PYTHONPATH can
see it)
:::: danmodule.py (your module)
:::: danmodule_xml\ (a subdirectory in the same directory as
your module;
it will only have 2 files in it)
:::::: __init__.py (an empty textfile in danmodule_xml\,
only here to make danmodule_xml\
work like a package)
:::::: data.xml (your xml file in danmodule_xml\)
Here is the Python code for loading the file:
# ################ #
import xml.dom.minidom
import os.path
import danmodule_xml
xml_data_path = os.path.split(danmodule_xml.__file__)[0]
xml_file_fullpath = os.path.join(xml_data_path, 'data.xml')
document = xml.dom.minidom.parse(xml_file_fullpath)
# ################ #
Obviously, if you have more than 1 xml files, just put them all in
"danmodule_xml\".
