On MS Windows, I am trying to find out a good default location to save some temporary files.
The tempfile module seemed to have exactly what I wanted: >>> import tempfile >>> tempfile.gettempdir() 'c:\\docume~1\\admini~1\\locals~1\\temp' >>> My problem (entirely cosmetic, but still) is that I also need to show this location to the users of my program, who I suspect would be much happier with a 'proper' Windows path than with this '~1' DOS malarkey. Does anybody know how I can obtain a temp directory in 'verbose' format (or somehow convert the gettempdir() result to that)? -- Leo Breebaart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
