I need to get the location of the home directory of the current logged-on user. Currently, I've been using the following on Linux:
os.getenv("HOME")
However, this does not work on Windows. What is the correct cross-platform way to do this?

A:
You want to use os.path.expanduser. This will ensure it works on all platforms

As in from os.path import expanduser home = expanduser("~")

Yup, that's right. Sorry I didn't include an example.
