that? I think about puting these files in /usr/share/myprogram and then
reading it the normal way (so the path "/usr/share/myprogram" would be just

program or is there any more sofisticated way?
Just keep them in your sources, and create an empty __init__.py file in
the images directory.
Then install setuptools and use the pkg_resources module. It will work
even if your application is installed as an egg through easy_install,
possibly zipped.
To open a resource file:
f = pkg_resources.resource_stream('path.to.package', 'resource.png')
f.read()
"""
Return a readable file-like object for the specified resource; it
may be an actual file, a StringIO, or some similar object. The stream is
in "binary mode", in the sense that whatever bytes are in the resource
will be read as-is.
