How to get Desktop location?

Question

I\'m using Python on Windows and I want a part of my script to copy a file from a certain directory (I know its path) to the Desktop.

I used this:

sh         


        

Answer 1

On Unix or Linux:

import os
desktop = os.path.join(os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~')), 'Desktop') 

on Windows:

import os
desktop = os.path.join(os.path.join(os.environ['USERPROFILE']), 'Desktop') 

and to add in your command:

shutil.copy(txtName, desktop)
