Depending on the definition of a "resource" there's additional
information that could be needed. For instance, if resource includes
message catalogs, then being able to get the base directory that the
catalogs reside in is needed for passing to gettext.
Well the whole point is that for certain loaders (e.g. zip files)
there *is* no base directory. If you do need directories you won't be
able to use PEP-302 loaders, and you can just use
os.path.dirname(<some_module>.__file__).
One thing that /would/ be helpful though is the ability to list all
the resources under a specific package path. This is (I think) one
use case that pkg_resource fails to support and it's the one place
that I've had to drop down to file system introspection.
Think: the package-y flavor of
os.listdir(os.path.dirname(package.__file__))
