Runtime filepath defining instead of fixed filepath for text files.

[rowds]

Importing this as is from a python project's modules' directory that is 'project_dir/sample/' will raise a filepath error. It is very simple to fix this issue but will greatly increase the usabilty of the code. Instead of defining fixed file paths for text files like this:

FirstNames    = './Names/FirstNames.txt'
MiddleNames   = './Names/MiddleNames.txt'
LastNames     = './Names/LastNames.txt'
CountyNames   = './Names/CountyNames.txt'
PlaceNames    = './Names/PlaceNames.txt'
StateNames    = './Names/StateNames.txt'
CountryNames  = './Names/CountryNames.txt'
CompanyNames  = './Names/CompanyNames.txt'

Define the filepaths in runtime instead so that it can run as a importable module or a standalone script or whatever, like this:

#directory from where the module is running currently.
script_dir    = os.path.dirname(__file__)
names_dir     = os.path.join(module_dir, 'Names')

FirstNames    = os.path.join(names_dir, 'FirstNames.txt')
MiddleNames   = os.path.join(names_dir, 'MiddleNames.txt')
LastNames     = os.path.join(names_dir, 'LastNames.txt')
CountyNames   = os.path.join(names_dir, 'CountyNames.txt')
PlaceNames    = os.path.join(names_dir, 'PlaceNames.txt')
StateNames    = os.path.join(names_dir, 'StateNames.txt')
CountryNames  = os.path.join(names_dir, 'CountryNames.txt')
CompanyNames  = os.path.join(names_dir, 'CompanyNames.txt')

P.S. the Names folder still needs to be in the same directory as the script.
