Here's the description of os.path.expanduser from the docs[1]:
expanduser(path)
On Unix, return the argument with an initial component of "~" or
"~user" replaced by that user's home directory. An initial "~" is
replaced by the environment variable HOME if it is set; otherwise
the current user's home directory is looked up in the password
directory through the built-in module pwd. An initial "~user" is
looked up directly in the password directory.
On Windows, only "~" is supported; it is replaced by the environment
variable HOME or by a combination of HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH.
If the expansion fails or if the path does not begin with a tilde,
the path is returned unchanged.
