As I wrote on that wiki page, your best bet is either to hardcode the
path of your data files inside the script, or to read a configuration
file from a static location such as /etc/yourscript/config or
$HOME/.yourscript.

Trying to determine "where the user put my script and its associated
data files on the disk" is an impossible game.
