By default in Win7 AppData is a hidden folder - you need to go to Tools | Folder Options | View | Show hidden files, folders and drives to see it in Explorer (no matter what user you're logged in as). If the py.ini location does become defined in terms of %LOCALAPPDATA% then suggesting to use that value in the Explorer address bar would probably be the easiest way for people to get to the correct directory.
