Re: Finding user's home dir

[Michael]

My own, less than perfect, way of finding the users home directory is 
like this:

def personal_directory ( default = None ):
   pdir = None
   if sys.platform.startswith ( 'win' ):
       import _winreg
       reg = _winreg.ConnectRegistry ( None, _winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER )
       pkey = _winreg.OpenKey ( reg, 
r"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" )
       pdir = _winreg.QueryValueEx ( pkey, 'Personal' )[0]
       _winreg.CloseKey ( pkey )
       _winreg.CloseKey ( reg )
   else:
       pdir = os.getenv ( 'HOME' )
   if not pdir:
       pdir = default
   return pdir
