Martin v. Löwis added the comment: I believe Microsoft advises against looking at the registry to find these things, and advocates the use of SHGetFolder instead:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/apcompat/apcompat/use_the_application_programming_interface_to_locate_special_folders.asp As for naming things: I guess an object ShellFolders in ntpath might work fine, with (computed) attributes Desktop, Documents, etc (according to the FOLDERID_ symbolic constants of the API). OTOH, this is entirely ad-hoc, as tons of other Windows API is *not* directly exposed to Python, so it's questionable why this one specifically deserves being supported. The patch has no documentation. ---------- nosy: +loewis __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1763> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
