QUESTION app AC with getlogin (windows user name)

[jerome30]

Hello

I try to write some info on a file and put the file on the desktop
but we have not the same path for the desktop because windows use our login name for that.
so, if we see my script :

import os
user=os.getlogin()
save_folder = "C:\\Users\{}\Desktop\\".format(user)

this is work on PYHON 3.8 but not on ASSETTO (python 2.7.x)

any idea ? thanks

import ctypes

userDir=''
ID_DOCS = 5 # My Documents
SH_TYPE = 0 # Get current, not default value
buf = ctypes.create_unicode_buffer(ctypes.wintypes.MAX_PATH)
ctypes.windll.shell32.SHGetFolderPathW(None, ID_DOCS, None, SH_TYPE, buf)
userDir = buf.value # bingo, userdir/documents!
