FW: Windows 2000 and os.path.expanduser

Hi!

I am logged in as Administrator, when testing this:

ActivePython 2.3.2 Build 232 (ActiveState Corp.) based on
Python 2.3.2 (#49, Nov 13 2003, 10:34:54) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.path.expanduser("~")
'C:\\'
>>>

Doesn't look that good - that was the reason why I actually 
played with USERPROFILE in the first place. This machine somehow 
doesn't have HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH variables set. Don't ask 
me why, I can just deliver what I see, not why it's as it is 
with Windows ;-)

bye, Georg
