Summary: os.path.expanduser documentation wrt. empty $HOME
Initial Comment:
If $HOME is unset, an initial "~" should not be
expanded according to the documentation. But instead it
somehow is expanded, perhaps through the pwd module:
$ env -u HOME python -c "import os.path; print
os.path.expanduser('~/foo')"
/home/calvin/foo
The result should be "~/foo" instead of "/home/calvin/foo".
I suggest adjusting the documentation to state the also
a single "~" is looked up in the pwd module, not only
"~user".

Strike the comma before the final "or".
After you post this, put a note on your todo list to check
its appearance in the HTML docs whenever Fred runs an update:
