Hello again!
Thanks a lot for the helpful hints! I was not aware that expanduser does also
work on windows since I am on WinMe...
My current approach is this:
import platform, os.path
def _detect_filepath():
op_sys= platform.system()
op_rel= platform.release()
if op_sys=="Windows":
if op_rel in ["XP"]:
return os.path.expanduser("~")
else:
return os.path.dirname(__file__) # store in package directory
elif op_sys=="Linux":
return os.path.expanduser("~")
else:
raise "Unsupported operating system."
What do you think? If someone with a win2000 system could tell me the return
value of platform.release(), that would be nice.
Kind regards,
Karsten.

Hello!
My app should run on debian and windows platforms. For storing the
configuration data, I use the ConfigParser module.
What I find difficult is to determine a place for my configuration file. On
debian, it is simply
os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~")),"myconfig")
but what am I supposed to do on Windows? I think a clean solution would be to
create a file-like object that reads and writes to the registry, is it?
Kind regards,
Karsten.
