I am using setuptools to create a wheel file.
There is a conf-file I want to install into the users config-diretory.
e.g. /home/user/.config/appname/app.conf
setup(...,
data_files = [ ('~/.config/appname/', ['app.conf']) ]
)
I see two problems here:
1.
I don't know the users "name". So I have to use a placeholder here.
Does '~' work here in that case?
2.
To install the wheel-file with pip I need sudo-privilegs on Ubuntu
14.04.2. That means while the install script runs I can not ask for the
users name because it is "root" in that case.
