""" pkgdata is a simple, extensible way for a package to acquire data file resources. The getResource function is equivalent to the standard idioms, such as the following minimal implementation: import sys, os def getResource(identifier, pkgname=__name__): pkgpath = os.path.dirname(sys.modules[pkgname].__file__) path = os.path.join(pkgpath, identifier) return file(os.path.normpath(path), mode='rb') When a __loader__ is present on the module given by __name__, it will defer getResource to its get_data implementation and return it as a file-like object (such as StringIO).

An IOError will be raised if the resource can not be found. For example: mydata = getResource('mypkgdata.jpg').read() Note that the package name must be fully qualified, if given, such that it would be found in sys.modules. In some cases, getResource will return a real file object. In that case, it may be useful to use its name attribute to get the path rather than use it as a file-like object.
