Have a look at this (recent) thread:

Not necessarily a complete answer. I don't believe there are any
"rules", in Python or otherwise. However, Microsoft would rather like
you to save things in "My Documents", "My Pictures", "My Rubbish Bin"
and so on, and the easiest way to find them is discussed in the above
thread (and a few others if you care to Google back through this
newsgroup).
