I'm pretty sure there is a standard place in an App bundle that data
files are supposed to go. It would be nice to use that place, and point
MPL to it, rather than using a path relative to the python interpreter.
With any luck, we could get the same approach to work with py2exe also.
Both py2app and py2exe use set a "frozen" attribute in the sys module,
so you can detect at runtime it you're running inside a bundle:
