Thomas, you have just opened my eyes. Python should do all the work!
- os.path.expandvars
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.expandvars>
substitutes environment variables!
- os.path.expanduser
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.expanduser> handles
per-platform resolution of `~`.
See the links above for details.
As before, any path can be relative to the outline. Just "finalize" the
resulting path using:
os.path.normpath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(c.fileName()), path))
*Summary*
c.expand_path_expression should let os.path do all the work. No more
security woes.
There is no need for path expressions! Bye-bye {{ and }}. No more Leo-only
conventions.
c.expand_path_expression will collapse.
