What's the current > contents of __file__ for you, and what would you like it to be? I would like <module>.__file__ to be the absolute path to the current location of that module -- even if the package is moved (e.g. installed on some other user's computer). That is the current behavior for python and for py2exe and py2app bundled apps. It allows easy use of <module>.__file__ to find resources with just a few minor tricks in the case of bundled applications. Instead what I find is that <module>.__file__ points to a file in my *build* directory (thus a file that may no longer exist). For example, after building my application "tui" I have subdirectories buildtui and disttui. The final files are in disttui, but when I run disttui/tui I find that <module>.__file__ refers to buildtui/out5.pyz: TUI.__file__ = /astro/users/rowen/build/TUI_1.3a15_Source/BuildForUnix/buildtui/out5.pyz RO.__file__ = /astro/users/rowen/build/TUI_1.3a15_Source/BuildForUnix/buildtui/out5.pyz The correct path should be somewhere in disttui (I'm guessing disttui/tui.pkg). Any idea what it would take to do this? -- Russell --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
