[Distutils] accessing data files

[Stefan Seefeld]

hi there,

I'm creating a package that contains python modules as well
as data files. My understanding is that there are options
for 'python setup.py install' to specifically tell where to
put the data files.

How does my python code then know where to look for these
files ? Is there a way to generate part of the python code
such that these locations are stored and remembered ?

Thanks,
		Stefan
