In fact, I had to write code for this, and had to read the specs for each.
Here's the code (I've substituted Python for UpLib):
if sys.platform == 'darwin':
listdir = os.path.expanduser(os.path.join("~", "Library", "Application
Support", "org.python"))
elif sys.platform == 'win32':
if os.environ.has_key('APPDATA'):
listdir = os.path.join(os.environ['APPDATA'], 'Python')
elif os.environ.has_key('USERPROFILE'):
listdir = os.path.join(os.environ['USERPROFILE'], 'Application Data',
'Python')
elif os.environ.has_key('HOMEDIR') and os.environ.has_key('HOMEPATH'):
listdir = os.path.join(os.environ['HOMEDIR'], os.environ['HOMEPATH'],
'Python')
else:
listdir = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), 'Python')
else:
# pretty much has to be unix
listdir = os.path.expanduser(os.path.join("~", ".python"))
