Introduction/tutorial to `pkg_resources`

Question

I heard about Distribute's pkg_resources. I want it to organize resources such as images in my project. Is there a good tutorial on how to use it?

Answer 1

Haven't found a perfect one yet, but pkg_resources API reference @ The PEAK Developers' Center is not a bad start.

Answer 2

They're not exactly tutorials, but these should give you a start:

• Including Data Files

• Accessing Data Files at Run Time

• Basic Resource API
