In my code, I uselogging.config.fileConfig('/home/matt/mypackage/matt.cfg') to load in
theloggingconfig file.

However, it seems really obvious to me that this won't work when I share
this package with others.

I can't figure out what path to use when I load my .cfg file.

Any ideas?

Is your package a library or an application? If it's a library, you
should avoid configuring logging using a config file - this is because
logging configuration is process-wide, and if multiple libraries use
fileConfig to configure their logging, you may get unexpected results.

If it's an application, then Larry's advice is good.
