[Pythonmac-SIG] Re: Per user dirs on Non-Unix platforms (was Re: [Python-Dev] Where to install non-code files)

[jdurchen@murl.com]

I took a look at it and actually, it appers that the OS "blesses" the 
folder in the User's directory. I am sure that if I did a find folder, 
it would return this specific user directory. So in essence, it appears 
that the new MacOS9.0.4 multiuser system behaves a bit more Unix like 
than I first thought. 

In a standard user folder there is (Just after creating a new account)

1. Apple Menu Items
2. Desktop Pictures
3. Documents
4. Favorites (For Nav Services)
5. Internet Search Sites (Sherlock Plugins???)
6. Launcher Items
7. Preferences
8. PrintMonitor Documents
9. Shutdown Items
10. Startup Items
