The answer to that is unfortunately slightly complicated,
because Windows has no such thing as a "user's home directory"
or, if you prefer, it has several such things.
If you want, you can let Python make the decision, by
calling os.path.expanduser on "~" which, in my case,
correctly gives h:\ which is my domain home directory.
Obviously this is not necessarily the same as my Documents
and Settings directory, which can also be considered a home
directory. That you can get by querying the shell:
<code>
from win32com.shell import shell, shellcon
idlist = shell.SHGetSpecialFolderLocation (0, shellcon.CSIDL_PERSONAL)
documents_and_settings = shell.SHGetPathFromIDList (idlist)
print documents_and_settings
</code>
In my case they are the same but that will depend on your
setup. I know in the past at least one of these has
defaulted to c:\
Alternatives (which in my case amount to the same thing)
include using the HOMEDRIVE / HOMEPATH / HOMESHARE
environment vars:
<code>
import os
drive = os.environ.get ("HOMEDRIVE", "")
path = os.environ.get ("HOMEPATH", "")
share = os.environ.get ("HOMESHARE", "")
print drive+path
print share
</code>
I haven't bothered to look, but I think this latter
is how the expanduser function works things out.
YMMV
