"wx.StandardPaths returns the standard locations in the file system and
should be used by the programs to find their data files in a portable
way.

In the description of the methods below, the example return values are
given for the Unix, Windows and Mac OS X systems, however please note
that these are just the examples and the actual values may differ. For
example, under Windows: the system administrator may change the
standard directories locations, i.e. the Windows directory may be
named W:\Win2003 instead of the default C:\Windows.

The strings appname and username should be replaced with the value
returned by `wx.App.GetAppName` and the name of the currently logged
in user, respectively. The string prefix is only used under Unix and
is /usr/local by default but may be changed using `SetInstallPrefix`.

The directories returned by the methods of this class may or may not
exist. If they don't exist, it's up to the caller to create them,
wxStandardPaths doesn't do it.

Finally note that these functions only work with standardly packaged
applications. I.e. under Unix you should follow the standard
installation conventions and under Mac you should create your
application bundle according to the Apple guidelines. Again, this
class doesn't help you to do it.", "");
