os.path.expanduser('~/foo') and MSWindows "My Documents"

[jim.mccoy at gmail.com]

Try this:


from win32com.shell import shell, shellcon
HOMEDIR = shell.SHGetSpecialFolderPath(0, shellcon.CSIDL_PERSONAL)
myfile_location = os.path.join(HOMEDIR, myfile_name)

Define a HOMEDIR for your various platforms (use sys.platform to figure
out what choice to make) and the rest of your code should not need to
care where "home" is...
