os.path.expandu ser ... where is this?

I have a code that opens an .imap file in os.path.expandu ser.

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.ex panduser('~/.imap'))
p.s. anyone know where os.path.expandu ser opens up on OSX?

I've just started digging into how python works.. I found that other mudules are clearly declared like one file per a module.. But the only os.path doesn't have their own file.. ye I know is has actually depending on os like in my case posixpath.. What I'd love to know is.. when I call import os.path.. how happened under the hood?

In test() method: var path="C:\test\hello.txt"; //returns -1 for path.lastIndexOf("\\"). why?? var pos=path.lastIndexOf("\\"); //return -1 But in showFile() method: We are able to get the filename. The only difference is test() hardcode the path, but in showFile() we gets the path from the file dialog.

Hi, Given a string representing the path to a file, what is the best way to get at the filename? Does the OS module provide a function to parse the path? or is it acceptable to split the string using '/' as delimiters and get the last 'word'. The reason I'm not entirely happy with that method is that it is platform specific. I would prefer...

On *nix, ~/foo refers to a file in a user's home directory. On MSWindows, users normally look at "My Documents" in their home directory. ISTM that a file that my program would put in ~/. on Linux should be put in "~/My Documents/" (modulo os.path.normpath()) on MSWindows, where a user would expect it. How do you guys cope with this issue?...
