This puts the .dtd files in 
C:\Python23\Python23\lib\site-packages\Bio\EUtils\DTDs\.
(Note the double Python23).

However, the following does seem to work:

dtd_path = os.path.join("Bio", "EUtils", "DTDs")
if sys.platform == 'win32':
     path = os.path.join("Lib\\site-packages", dtd_path)
else:
     path = os.path.join(
         os.path.split(os.__file__)[0], "site-packages", dtd_path)
x = os.listdir(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), dtd_path))
x = [os.path.join(dtd_path, x) for x in x if x.endswith(".dtd")]
DATA_FILES.append((path, x))
del dtd_path, path, x

This puts the .dtd files in
C:\Python23\lib\site-packages\Bio\EUtils\DTDs\.
