If you try to get the %APPDATA% Windows path from Python, you can run it with the following command:
importos
os.getenv('APPDATA')
However, I have encountered a rare situation where I think I might not be able to get the correct path, so I would like to try using Windows API to get the path.
Using the Recommended API calls for retrievering your AppData folder paths: found in the Advanced Installer document, I tried the following command, but could not retrieve it:
from ctypes import*
user32 = windowll.user32
AppDataPath=user32.Environment.GetFolderPath(user32.Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
print(AppDataPath)
The error is as follows:
AttributeError: function 'Environment' not found
How can I call Windows API from Python and get the %APPDATA% path?
python windows
Windows API can be retrieved using SHGetFolderPath.
In this case, use win32com.shell instead of windll.user32.
from win32 com.shell import shell, shellcon
path=shell.SHGetFolderPath(0, shellcon.CSIDL_APPDATA, None, 0)
print(path)#C:\Users\Hoge\AppData\Roaming
