Tarek Ziadé <ziade.ta...@gmail.com> added the comment:

The code works as expected because it uses os.path.expanduser('~'),
which will look to the right values depending on the platform.

So it's just the documentation that is wrong about how distutils behaves
under Windows.

I'll fix this doc asap, thanks for the feedback.
