So, I've got this project I'm working on where the app defines various classes that are subclassed by module packages that act like plugins...
I'd like the packages to define a file path for supporting files (graphics, etc) that are stored inside the package. The problem is that the superclass's definition (stored elsewhere) has all of the code for actually opening the files, so when I use the os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) trick, it's finding the superclass, not the package's path. is this possible? or do I have to add code to each subclassing package to calculate the absolute path of it and pass that as a variable? I'd rather not have to repeat myself for each package that I make, and I've got a feeling that I'm missing something really obvious. thanks in advance! ...spike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
