Import external kv files from another package

[Javier Uribe]

Hi, I'm trying to standarize some kivy applications so I want to extract functionality, as far it has been well with the python files, but with the kv files I have been not that lucky. I can't find a way to import kv files from an external package. I have tried something like:

#:include force package.file.kv

I have tried as well with the python way:

from kivy.lang import Builder
Builder.load_file('package.file.kv')

After a lot of attempts I have discovered how.

import module
from os.path import join
from kivy.lang import Builder
Builder.load_file(join(module.__path__._path[0], file_name))

Apparently with the python way it is possible if we pass it as parameter the module's path..
