I see somebody suggested that you use __file__, from the module.

Another option --- I'm using it --- is to have a config file and have
distutils to call a postinstall script (requires Python 2.3+) to update the
directory in such a config file. 

You can parse it with ConfigParser in your application. It also adds an
interesting way of putting things in different places and still having them
to work as expected :-)
