Config on Windows should go into APPDATA not USERPROFILE/HOME, on macOS it should go to "$HOME/Library/Application Support" and on Linux $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $HOME/.config. So using using HOME on all platforms for config is not what those platforms recommend, though I understand why it's still done this way by many tools. What about supporting a MYFANCYTOOL_CONFIG_DIR env var that the user can override? That's what I do for example. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36264> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
