The resources are archives that must be downloaded from internet, decompressed and processed. Right now I'm using a shell script that must be manually executed. The data is copied to a test/resources directory. The test directory contains the test suite and it is in the top level directory of the Python project. It is not installed on the system by the setup.py script. Test functions access the the data using __file__. I was just wondering if there is a better method.
