Released:

A small Python module for determining appropriate platform-specific dirs, e.g. a 'user data dir'.

I am running openttd 1.4.4, FIRS 1.4.3 and have them both set to FIRS economy also running superlib v38 i see the requirements for RCG are openttd v1.4 and superlib v38 - are these the minimum requirements or the exact requirements?

Project description

the problem

What directory should your app use for storing user data? If running on Mac OS X, youshould use:

Iexplorer 3.2.1.7 download. Download iexplorer windows, iexplorer windows, iexplorer windows download free.

If on Windows (at least English Win XP) that should be:

or possibly:

for roaming profiles but that is another story.

On Linux (and other Unices) the dir, according to the XDGspec, is:

appdirs to the rescue

This kind of thing is what the appdirs module is for. appdirs willhelp you choose an appropriate:

• user data dir (user_data_dir)
• user config dir (user_config_dir)
• user cache dir (user_cache_dir)
• site data dir (site_data_dir)
• site config dir (site_config_dir)
• user log dir (user_log_dir)

and also:

• is a single module so other Python packages can include their own private copy
• is slightly opinionated on the directory names used. Look for “OPINION” indocumentation and code for when an opinion is being applied.

some example output

On Mac OS X:

On Windows 7:

On Linux:

Per-version isolation

If you have multiple versions of your app in use that you want to beable to run side-by-side, then you may want version-isolation for thesedirs:

appdirs Changelog

appdirs 1.4.3

• [PR #76] Python 3.6 invalid escape sequence deprecation fixes
• Fix for Python 3.6 support

appdirs 1.4.2

• [PR #84] Allow installing without setuptools
• [PR #86] Fix string delimiters in setup.py description
• Add Python 3.6 support

appdirs 1.4.1

• [issue #38] Fix _winreg import on Windows Py3
• [issue #55] Make appname optional

appdirs 1.4.0

• [PR #42] AppAuthor is now optional on Windows
• [issue 41] Support Jython on Windows, Mac, and Unix-like platforms. Windowssupport requires JNA.
• [PR #44] Fix incorrect behaviour of the site_config_dir method

appdirs 1.3.0

• [Unix, issue 16] Conform to XDG standard, instead of breaking it foreverybody
• [Unix] Removes gratuitous case mangling of the case, since *nix-es areusually case sensitive, so mangling is not wise
• [Unix] Fixes the utterly wrong behaviour in site_data_dir, return resultbased on XDG_DATA_DIRS and make room for respecting the standard whichspecifies XDG_DATA_DIRS is a multiple-value variable
• [Issue 6] Add *_config_dir which are distinct on nix-es, according toXDG specs; on Windows and Mac return the corresponding *_data_dir

appdirs 1.2.0

• [Unix] Put user_log_dir under the cache dir on Unix. Seems to be moretypical.
• [issue 9] Make unicode work on py3k.

appdirs 1.1.0

• [issue 4] Add AppDirs.user_log_dir.

• [Unix, issue 2, issue 7] appdirs now conforms to XDG base directory spec.

• [Mac, issue 5] Fix site_data_dir() on Mac.

• [Mac] Drop use of ‘Carbon’ module in favour of hardcoded paths; supportsPython3 now.

• [Windows] Append “Cache” to user_cache_dir on Windows by default. Useopinion=False option to disable this.

• Add appdirs.AppDirs convenience class. Usage:

• [Windows] Cherry-pick Komodo’s change to downgrade paths to the Windows shortpaths if there are high bit chars.

• [Linux] Change default user_cache_dir() on Linux to be singular, e.g.“~/.superapp/cache”.

• [Windows] Add roaming option to user_data_dir() (for use on Windows only)and change the default user_data_dir behaviour to use a non-roamingprofile dir (CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA instead of CSIDL_APPDATA). Why? Becausea large roaming profile can cause login speed issues. The “only syncs onlogout” behaviour can cause surprises in appdata info.

appdirs 1.0.1 (never released)

Started this changelog 27 July 2010. Before that this module originated in theKomodo product as applib.py and thenas applib/location.py (used byPyPM in ActivePython). This is basically a fork ofapplib.py 1.0.1 and applib/location.py 1.0.1.
