[Pythoncard-users] updated childWindow function for release 0.7.3.1

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

Below is the updated childWindow function in model.py that should be 
able to find the resource file for a given background module based on 
the module name. The code is for release 0.7.3.1. The function starts 
on line 138 in model.py.

You still need to include your .rsrc.py files in the data_files list 
your py2exe setup.py script. The code below assumes that the module is 
in the library.zip file, so it won't work for the McMillan installer or 
bundlebuilder or freeze, so for those tools you'll need to continue to 
provide the path or loaded Resource for a child window in a standalone.
