[wxPython-users] [OT] Home dir under Windows?

[Rune Devik]

Depends on if you want the directory stated by the %HOME% env var or if you
want the "windows home dir" which is something like c:\documents and
settings\<username>.
The first is easy:
import os
if "HOME" in os.environ:
  print os.environ["HOME"]
else:
  print "home is not defined"

The second one is all about asking the registry. Example code can be found
here were all "user" folders are extracted from the registry:
http://launcher.cvs.sourceforge.net/launcher/launcher/src/ShellFolders.py?r=
evision=3D1.1.1.1&view=3Dmarkup

save that file and use it like this to display all user specific folders:

from ShellFolders import fetchShellFolders
folders =3D fetchShellFolders()
for key in folders.keys():
  print "%s: %s" % (key, folders[key])


Hope this helps,
