如何使用python查找Windows OS的安装路径？

Question

I wanted to get the installation path of operation system on Windows. For linux distribution, it would be /home/{username}/ . Is there a module to get this in python? Or we need to manually write a script for it? Example: I want : C:/.../Users/{username}/Desktop/ It's C: , I am interested in.

Answer 1

I hope you mean user path, not the installation path.

In [33]: import os

In [35]: os.path.expanduser('~')
Out[35]: 'C:\\Users\\john'

Answer 2

1) Using os.environ to read the WINDIR environment variable:

>>> os.path.split(os.environ['WINDIR'])[0]
'C:\\'

2) Using pathlib to get the current user directory (Python 3.5+):

>>> pathlib.Path.home().drive
'C:'

3) Or a mix of both, because the user directory could be on a different drive:

>>> pathlib.Path(os.environ['WINDIR']).drive
'C:'
