27"wx.StandardPaths returns standard locations in the file system and
28should be used by programs to find their data files in a portable way.
53112743
RD
29
30In the description of the methods below, the example return values are
31given for the Unix, Windows and Mac OS X systems, however please note
b8c4ab9c
RD
32that these are just examples and the actual values may differ. For
33example, under Windows the system administrator may change the
53112743
RD
34standard directories locations, i.e. the Windows directory may be
35named W:\Win2003 instead of the default C:\Windows.
36
37The strings appname and username should be replaced with the value
38returned by `wx.App.GetAppName` and the name of the currently logged
39in user, respectively. The string prefix is only used under Unix and
40is /usr/local by default but may be changed using `SetInstallPrefix`.
41
42The directories returned by the methods of this class may or may not
43exist. If they don't exist, it's up to the caller to create them,
b8c4ab9c 44wx.StandardPaths doesn't do it.
53112743
RD
45
46Finally note that these functions only work with standardly packaged
47applications. I.e. under Unix you should follow the standard
48installation conventions and under Mac you should create your
49application bundle according to the Apple guidelines. Again, this
50class doesn't help you to do it.", "");
