Although my understanding of setup* is minimal, I agree; I think that keeping some organization in the data will be helpful. It looks like get_data_path() is not called in many places, so if that is essentially what has to be fixed, it should not be very difficult. It might be facilitated by making _get_data_path() accept *args, a set of subdirectories to be appended.
