The path of a data file may differ if the script has been compiled into 
an executable.

This is the code that I use to find "filename" in the data folder:


def datapath(filename):
     if hasattr(sys, 'frozen') and sys.frozen == 'windows_exe':
         root = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(sys.executable))
     else:
         root = os.path.dirname(__file__)

     return os.path.join(root, 'data', filename)


(Python 2.6 and XP SP3)
