[issue 4] Add AppDirs.user_log_dir
.
[Unix, issue 2, issue 7] appdirs now conforms to XDG base directory spec http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
[Mac, issue 5] Fix site_data_dir()
on Mac.
[Mac] Drop use of ‘Carbon’ module in favour of hardcoded paths; supports Python3 now.
[Windows] Append “Cache” to user_cache_dir
on Windows by default. Use opinion=False
option to disable this.
Add appdirs.AppDirs
convenience class. Usage:
>>> dirs = AppDirs("SuperApp", "Acme", version="1.0") >>> dirs.user_data_dir '/Users/trentm/Library/Application Support/SuperApp/1.0'
[Windows] Cherry-pick Komodo's change to downgrade paths to the Windows short paths if there are high bit chars.
[Linux] Change default user_cache_dir()
on Linux to be singular, e.g. “~/.superapp/cache”.
[Windows] Add roaming
option to user_data_dir()
(for use on Windows only) and change the default user_data_dir
behaviour to use a non-roaming profile dir (CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
instead of CSIDL_APPDATA
). Why? Because a large roaming profile can cause login speed issues. The “only syncs on logout” behaviour can cause surprises in appdata info.
Started this changelog 27 July 2010. Before that this module originated in the Komodo product as applib.py
and then as applib/location.py (used by PyPM in ActivePython). This is basically a fork of applib.py 1.0.1 and applib/location.py 1.0.1.
