failed to locate formatting script #23

The first time I installed this (via melpa), the mode wasn't able to find the embedded docstring_wrap.py file. Using M-q to reformat docstrings cause the whole comment to be replaced by a "couldn't find file" error string.

I wound up setting it manually with the (built-in, thank you!) python-docstring-script variable, but it looks like it's supposed to be able to find it on its own. I'll try to debug this at some point and submit a patch.. just filing the issue now in case I forget.

Thanks for the report.

Nevermind, I had a leftover symlink-based install still present, so load-file-name was pointing into the wrong directory. The code that sets python-docstring-script is working as intended. PEBCAK.
