Hi Pedro,
There is no designated infrastructure for this. Other plugins typically create
their own directory in the user's home folder, like "~/.myplugindata". You
could also create it inside the "~/.pymol" directory (like
"~/.pymol/myplugindata").
This works on all platforms:
os.path.expanduser("~/.pymol/myplugindata")
On Windows, you could also put it inside the %APPDATA% directory:
os.path.join(os.environ['APPDATA'], 'pymol', 'myplugindata')
Let me know how you decide or if you have other ideas!
Cheers,
Thomas
