I'd like to point out Java's solution to this.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/lang/ClassLoader.html#getResource(java.lang.String)

Since Python doesn't have the complication of multiple class loaders, 
getResource() (or whatever name it gets in Python) and its peers could 
be module-level functions somewhere (such as pkgutils).
