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