ActiveState_ first shared the source of their Python appdirs_ package in 2010, before which it had been developed as part of Komodo_. It has since evolved at slow intervals, and seems to be a go-to package in the Python ecosystem. This package is a Rust port of the Python code.

It exposes the same six primitives:

  • user_data_dir()
  • site_data_dir()
  • user_config_dir()
  • site_config_dir()
  • user_cache_dir()
  • user_log_dir()

Windows Vista and later, macOS and other Unices are tested. Android support should be coming soon; iOS needs some more investigation. The following documents have been guiding development:

  • Microsoft Windows knowledge base entry_
  • Apple's File System Programming Guide_
  • The XDG Base Directory Specification_
