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

I can not comment yet, but solutions based on joining location to a user path with 'Desktop' have limited appliance because Desktop could and often is being remapped to a non-system drive. To get real location a windows registry should be used... or special functions via ctypes like https://stackoverflow.com/a/626927/7273599
