wxPython has some examples of specifying in-package data files that you can probably build upon. See where DATA_FILES is built up, the wx_smart_install_data command class, and the find_data_files function. http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxPython/branches/WX_2_8_BRANCH/ Look at both setup.py and config.py. -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org Java give you jitters?
