I tend to use the "basic resource access" API of pkg_resources.

http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources#basic-resource-access

I'm not suggesting that we adopt all of pkg_resources, but I think the 5
functions listed there, plus resource_filename() (from the next section)
provide basic functionality I've found very useful.
