Ah, I see what you're trying to achieve. No idea how useful it would be in practice, most projects seem to get away without it, but maybe they shouldn't have to. But based on this, it's critical IMO that there's good docs on how to find these files at runtime, otherwise projects will hard-code for the simple case (installed in the system Python on Unix - I imagine it'll be the Unix developers who will be the typical users of this feature) and end up breaking in all other environments...
