That's where it is (and that's why it ends up inside the executable).
But I am talking about the distributed app, i.e. the one that autotools
builds at our clients end.  All that ends up on the user machine
is /usr/(local/)bin/MyApp.gambas not the full project source.

Ah yes! But python doesn't use the gambas executable approach.

Thanks for your interest anyway.
