Hello,

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

The ".myapp.conf" is in the home folder of the user.

if I do:

f=open("/home/user1/.myapp.conf","r")  #it works

obviously I won't know the home user folder name then I wanted to use:

f=open("~/.myapp.conf","r")  # but it returns a IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:

How can I do to access this file whatever the user is ?

Thanks for your help.
