This is silly. How do I access data files I've installed with distutils? In a portable, generic way, I want to find out what is the following path on most systems:
/usr/local/lib/python2.4/lib/site-packages/foo/bar.txt How do I figure out the rest, if I know foo/bar.txt? sys.prefix doesn't get me far. I've googled, and looked in the python reference. I must be blind if the distutils section[1] covers this. Cheers, Frans 1. http://www.python.org/doc/current/dist/dist.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
