Is any of this really necessary?  If you load this script via `command script add` (which is definitely better than having this be a post-processing script that someone has to manually run) then it is guaranteed to be in the path.  Just import it, like the other examples in `lldb/examples/python/jump.py` for an example.  The idea is to have it do the indexing when the command is loaded and save it to a global, and then each time it runs it uses the global index.  This way it's invisible to the user, you just run `bcd -Wcovered-switch` or something without worrying about it.
