How do I store desktop application data in a cross platform way for python?

Question

I have a python desktop application that needs to store user data. On Windows, this is usually in %USERPROFILE%\\Application Data\\AppName\\, on OSX it\'s usual

Answer 1

Well, for Windows APPDATA (environmental variable) points to a user's "Application Data" folder. Not sure about OSX, though.

The correct way, in my opinion, is to do it on a per-platform basis.
