You can get the user name using getpass.getuser() as described in

Hi,
You can use expanduser() from os.path for this:
import os.path
homedir = os.path.expanduser('~user1')
file_to_open = os.path.join(homedir, '.myapp.conf')
f = open(file_to_open, 'r')

os.getenv('HOME') will return the user's home directory as long as that
environment variable is set.
you can also use the pwd module:
>>> pwd.getpwnam('mtw')
('mtw', 'x', 1000, 1000, ',,,', '/home/mtw', '/bin/bash')

Hello,
I want to read a configuration file from a small python app (user preferences).

f=open("~/.myapp.conf","
