Your comment doesn't help at all. In fact my proposal uses different "best places" for Windows (%APPDATA%), Mac (~/Library/Python) and Unix (~/.local). I can't comment on OS2, Ricos and VAX because I've zero experience with the platforms. The right place for a platform is the place we decide is right. As long as the directory is somewhere inside the home directory of a user and the directory doesn't show up in the user data folder (hence APPDATA on Windows and a dot directory on Unix) I consider any sensible directory as the right one. Do you think APPDATA. ~/Library/Python or ~/.local are not sensible? Please stop bitching and bring in some useful, constructive criticism and use cases not covered by my PEP. Have you read the PEP at all?
