Oops, you're right. My brain stopped working (which often happens lately, just about when I decide to write an email or comment in a bug tracker. Late evenings and lack of sleep may have something to do with it.). I retract my statement. The only problem with os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'foo') is that it's long and cumbersome to type (and doesn't work in zip files, but I don't much care about those). Marius Gedminas -- If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
