Finding the file referred to in a Python traceback

[metaperl.etc]

In this traceback, the path to 3 different SQL Alchemy source files is
a relative directory. However, no such directory is below my current
working directory.

This is problematic for two reasons:
1 - I cannot use XEmacs find-file-at-point to find the file in which
the error is occurring
2 - I am not really sure where the source file is that is causing
problems because tha path could be relative to anything.

Paths of files contained in eggs aren't always helpful (as was pointed
out to me recently). If you unzip the SQLAlchemy egg (eggs are just
zip files) (to somewhere other than site-packages if you want to avoid
confusion) you'll probably find schema.py etc. in there.
