thanks a lot everybody!
my path was not quite right i finaly found out (thanks to os.path.abspath).
the whole problem arose because i want to move my project to a package
(there are way to many files now for 1 folder). i thought quite a while
about and now want to use this structure:
[project]
|- [data]
|- [image]
|- [font]
|- etc.
|- [engine]
|- control.py
|- view.py
|- game.py
|- etc.
|- main.py
|- setup.py
what do you think?
cheers
olaf
