How to read a (static) file from inside a Python package?

Could you tell me how can I read a file that is inside my Python package?

My situation

A package that I load has a number of templates (text files used as strings) that I want to load from within the program. But how do I specify the path to such file?

Imagine I want to read a file from:

package\templates\temp_file

Some kind of path manipulation? Package base path tracking?
