(Copied from my post to python-checkins.)
On Windows, HOME is spelled USERPROFILE or ,HOMEDRIVE + HOMEPATH.  These are set by default on Windows.  The OS specific os.path.expanduser('~') deals with this difference.  I don't know what you are testing exactly, but I believe cross-platform modules should use the latter instead of the *NIX-specific HOME.
