Does pip packaging preserve instantiation paths?

[slerman12]

If I import my pip-packaged app in a new top-level directory, does that change all the instantiation paths to be rooted at the top-level directory?

For example, if I did

module=path.to.my.module

would I have to change it to:

module=top_level_dir.path.to.my.module?

It should not change the instantiation path; the instantiation path is supposed work the same way as python's import dotpaths.

For example, if you would write from path.to.my.module import MyObject in a python script, the corresponding dotpath that you'd use for an instantiated _target_ would be path.to.my.module.MyObject.
