Access Dynamo's Package Paths from Python

I have been doing this:


import os
appDataPath = os.getenv('APPDATA')
dynPath = appDataPath + r"\Dynamo\0.9"
if dynPath not in sys.path:
	sys.path.Add(dynPath)
	
bbPath = appDataPath + r"\Dynamo\0.9\packages\Bumblebee\extra"
if bbPath not in sys.path:
	try:
		sys.path.Add(bbPath)
		import bumblebee as bb
	except:
		import xml.etree.ElementTree as et
		root = et.parse(dynPath + "\DynamoSettings.xml").getroot()
		for child in root:
			if child.tag == "CustomPackageFolders":
				for path in child:
					path_bb = path.text + "\Bumblebee\extra"
					if path not in sys.path:
						sys.path.Add(path_bb)
		import bumblebee as bb
