Each module has a get_data_path(file_name) function that returns the path to a file named "file_name" located in the data directory (whether you are running it our of the build dir or have installed IMP). For some reason the methods are currently excluded from the docs. I'll fix that.

Similarly, there is a get_example_path(file_name) that returns the path to a file in the example directory (to be used in writing examples that load data).
