If it really is a common habit to have single-file modules with associated data files directly rooted under a namespace package, we could change the API to allow passing in a module and have it be interpreted as "find the data as sibling files of this module." But when given a package I would still prefer that it would look inside the package. But to avoid ambiguities when something that's a module in one version but a package in another I would really prefer to avoid this.
Yes, it should look inside a package. Very often, a data directory will be made a package through the addition of a __init__.py just so the data can be found. There are often no other py files in such data packages.
