gdesklets __import__ problem

Hi, I'm writing a gdesklets control, that dynamicly uses __import__ and
getattr to get the right classes based on userinput. The problem is, that
my control is somehow being run from somewhere unknown. This means that
__import__ can't find the modules. I tried putting an
os.chdir("~/.gdesklets/Controls/1136298021.06/...") just before the
__import__ call, and that worked, but ofcource isn't very smart in the run.

Is there any way to find out where the control is put on the disk, so that
I can change to the correct folder? Or is there some hack, that allows me
to import the modules without knowing there location?

Programmers should realize their critical importance and responsibility in a
world gone digital. They are in many ways similar to the priests and monks of
Europe's Dark Ages; they are the only ones with the training and insight
to read and interpret the "scripture" of this age.
