expanduser() sounds like the better choice here.

Mark Lawrence added the comment:

We have a patch to review or we need a doc patch, unless someone has a 
different idea to the approaches suggested by the originator.  I prefer the 
idea of changing the code, manually changing environment variables just seems 
wrong to me, but I won't lose any sleep over it.

[issue20523] global .pdbrc on windows 7 not reachable out of the box

[mbyt]

New submission from mbyt:

The global .pdbrc file is determined by the %HOME% environment variable. 
However, this is not available out of the box on e.g. windows 7 systems. Here 
only %HOMEDRIVE% and %HOMEPATH% are defined.

Thus the usual approach to have a global .pdbrc file on windows is to define a 
%HOME% environment variable by hand. This could be avoided if the global .pdbrc 
would be determined by os.path.expanduser(~/.pdbrc), which works on current 
windows and does the magic behind.

There are two possible approaches to improve this situation:
* explicitly mention in the docs that on windows a %HOME% varialbe need to be 
created manually
* patch pdb.py to use os.path.expanduser instead (see attached diff)

For reference, see also old discussion 
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-October/349550.html.
