EU will not start if not currently in the easyUbuntu directory

Easy Ubuntu fails to start if your terminal is not currently in the easyubuntu/ directory. Upon trying to start it from my home directory (for example), by way of "sudo python Desktop/easyubuntu/easyubuntu.py", it fails with the following errors:

"Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Desktop/easyubuntu/easyubuntu.py", line 36, in ?
    gtkfrontend.launcher(datadir, confdir)
  File "/home/zephyrxero/Desktop/easyubuntu/gtkfrontend.py", line 136, in launcher
    pkglist = minidom.parse(os.path.join(datadir, 'packagelist-%s.xml' % codename()))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/minidom.py", line 1915, in parse
    return expatbuilder.parse(file)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 924, in parse
    fp = open(file, 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/zephyrxero/packagelist-dapper.xml' "

It should not matter what directory I'm currently in, as long as I point the python interpretor to proper location of EU.

Once I cd'd into the actual easyubuntu/ directory everything ran fine, so I'm willing to bet there's some code that's setup relative to where the user is when they run it rather than where the code actually exists.
