And "packageresources"
(http://www.handshake.de/~dieter/pyprojects/packageresources.tgz"
can show a way to do it. An alternative could be the upcoming egg's
support for egg local resources.

With "packageresources" a python package/module is identified by
an url of the form "pypackage:<module_path>", e.g.
"pypackage:Products.CMFCore" or "pypackage:Shared.DC.ZRDB.DA".
A resource (e.g. a file or directory) local to a package
is identified by an url

   "pypackage:<package_path>/<package_relative_file_path>",

e.g. "pypackage:Products.CMFCore/skins"


As you can see: this allows to specifiy location independent
skin directories.
