Cross-platfom provisioning of home directory storage
Project description
pypaxtor: Package Storage provisioning
Simple module that provides a path to a storage location under the user home directory in a cross-platform manner.
Under MacOS this will be in ~/Library/Application Support;
under Windows it will be in $HOME/AppData/Local;
and under Linux it will be in ~/.local/share.
Packages using this module supply a package name when requesting a storage location.
A directory with that name is created under the directory named PyPaxtor
in the os-appropriate location.
Usage:
>>> import pypaxtor
>>> savedir = pypaxtor.get_storage_location('my_package')
>>> savedir # if on Mac as user `rlyacht`
PosixPath('/Users/rlyacht/Library/Application Support/pypaxtor/my_package')
>>> with open(savedir / 'SaveFile.txt') as savefile:
... # do stuff
If the above code is executed on a linux system,
the saved file will be located at /home/rlyacht/.local/share/pypaxtor/my_package/SaveFile.txt.
