[Buildbot-devel] upcoming release

[Mike Taylor]

at OSAF we store all app specific data on windows in a directory that 
is based on the following algorithm - we use this method because we are 
trying to run on as many win32 platforms as possible.   Only at the end 
do we use the python routine os.path.expanduser('~') as a fall-back.

         if os.name == 'nt':
             dataDir = None

             if os.environ.has_key('APPDATA'):
                 dataDir = os.environ['APPDATA']
             elif os.environ.has_key('USERPROFILE'):
                 dataDir = os.environ['USERPROFILE']
                 if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(dataDir, 'Application 
Data')):
                     dataDir = os.path.join(dataDir, 'Application Data')

             if dataDir is None or not os.path.isdir(dataDir):
                 if os.environ.has_key('HOMEDRIVE') and 
os.environ.has_key('HOMEPATH'):
                     dataDir = '%s%s' % (os.environ['HOMEDRIVE'], 
os.environ['HOMEPATH'])

             if dataDir is None or not os.path.isdir(dataDir):
                 dataDir = os.path.expanduser('~')

             profileDir = os.path.join(dataDir, 'Open Source 
Applications Foundation', 'Chandler')
