Avoid hard coding default paths. The roaming and local application
data directories are relocatable. It's even less typing to use the
proper variable, e.g. "%localappdata%" vs
"%userprofile%\appdata\local".

Also, if you can remember this in CMD, you can just as easily type it
in Explorer's location bar, which supports environment variables.
Explorer even has a "shell:" protocol that's more reliable than
environment variables, e.g. "shell:Local AppData" and
"shell:UserProgramFiles".

Side Note

Thanks to Steve Dower, there's now a Microsoft Store app for Python
3.7 [1]. Feedback would be appreciated if you have a supported system
(Windows 10 1809+, build 10.0.17763+). Notably, 3.7.2 has a new venv
launcher for Windows. The launcher is named "python.exe" in the
environment's "Scripts" directory, but it's not a copy of or symlink
to the installed "python.exe". It works around the limited access of
store apps by directly running the installed Python with a
__PYVENV_LAUNCHER__ environment variable. This needs more testing. A
significant bug has already been addressed for multiprocessing.
