I'm doing a little program and I want to distribute using this recipe:
- single directory with _main_.py in it
- zip this directory and echo #!/usr/bin/env python\n > file.zip
- making it executable
The problem is that in this package I have also extra files (I'm using pygtk toolkit and I need images and ui xml files). When I try to access these files I have the error that the resource is unavailable (the path that I'm trying to open is something like file.zip/gui/gui.ui ).
How can I handle this situation?
