Modules can be anywhere and must be accessible to anyone, but data files belong to specific modules. Searching the entire sys.path for a data file seems way too broad; there's got to be some information available as to where the data is. Eg. I doubt it's a *feature* that pdb.doc may also be found in site-packages. Just PS: Sorry for Cc-ing peps@python.org before, it was a bad idea to crosspost the draft to python-dev and peps to begin with :-(
