Subject: added tweaked sibpath implementation
X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/components/com_hotproperty/frontends/status?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ed5533760d959b617587b54620377ac3dc66480;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git

added tweaked sibpath implementation

use of twisted.python.util.sibpath to find files relative to modules doesn't
work when those modules are bundled into a library by py2exe.  this provides
an alternative implementation (in allmydata.util.sibpath) which checks for
the existence of the file, and if it is not found, attempts to find it relative
to sys.executable instead.
