save some temporary files.
The tempfile module seemed to have exactly what I wanted:
import tempfile
tempfile.gettempdir() 'c:\\docume~1\\admini~1\\locals~1\\temp'
My problem (entirely cosmetic, but still) is that I also need to
show this location to the users of my program, who I suspect
would be much happier with a 'proper' Windows path than with this
'~1' DOS malarkey.
Does anybody know how I can obtain a temp directory in 'verbose'
format (or somehow convert the gettempdir() result to that)?
