where is os.path.expandu ser?

where is this code looking for the .imap file? I am on OSX and am not
sure where to put the file it is looking for.

f = open(os.path.ex panduser('~/.imap'))

Your interactive interpreter has the answer
import os
os.path.expandu ser("~")

'/home/peter'

that will most likely differ from the one given above.

Hi everyone, I have two problems: 1. How can I keep my changes in sys.path after closing the interpreter? 2. os.path.expanduser("~") always gives me "C:\\" instead of my homepath. I have tried to change my homepath in WinXP using set homepath(in command line), and alsaw using the "Environment Variables" in WinXP system properties, non helped. I really have to fix this somehow.

I have a code that opens an .imap file in os.path.expanduser. Unfortunately, I am on OS X and have no idea where that directory is. I am wondering how I can change this code to just open the .imap file in the directory where the code is saved. f = open(os.path.expanduser('~/.imap'))

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
