Great hints, I'll try to follow them... and they could make a good section in the Hitchhiker's guide to packaging ;)

How about these two: http://us.pycon.org/media/2010/talkdata/PyCon2010/038/paper.html http://wiki.debian.org/GettingPackaged

You should be permissive on that one. Until we know how to describe resource files properly, file is what developer use when they need their projects to be portable.. Notice that we have started to work on fixing this - http://hg.python.org/distutils2/file/tip/docs/design/wiki.rst

if there's no other way (--install-data is ignored right now, and I know you're doing a great work to change that, thanks BTW), one could always use it in one place and later import the result in other parts of the code (instead of using file again)
