Finding the user's "My Documents" path
python
Solution
Use `os.path.expanduser(path)`, see http://docs.python.org/library/os.path.html
e.g. `expanduser('~/filename')`
This works on both Unix and Windows, according to the docs.
Edit: forward slash due to Sven's comment.
Problem
I have this small program and it needs to create a small .txt file in their 'My Documents' Folder. Here's the code I have for that: ``` textfile=open('C:\Users\MYNAME\Documents','w') lines=['stuff goes here'] textfile.writelines(lines) textfile.close() ``` The problem is that if other people use it, how do I change the `MYNAME` to their account name?
