- More information
- External resources
Depending on your system (Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows), you have to use different directories for storing user data. platformdirs will help you choose an appropriate:
user data directory (user_data_dir function)
user config directory (user_config_dir function)
user cache directory (user_cache_dir function)
site data directory (site_data_dir function)
site config directory (site_config_dir function)
user log directory (user_log_dir function)
On Linux systems, these function return directories based on the XDG Base Directory Specification.
This is the Python 3 version of the package.
