How to get Desktop location?


python copy desktop filepath

On Unix or Linux:

import osdesktop = os.path.join(os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~')), 'Desktop')

on Windows:

import osdesktop = os.path.join(os.path.join(os.environ['USERPROFILE']), 'Desktop')

and to add in your command:

shutil.copy(txtName, desktop)

python copy desktop filepath

You can use os.environ["HOMEPATH"] to get the path. Right now it's literally trying to find %HOMEPATH%/Desktop without substituting the actual path.

Maybe something like: 

shutil.copy(txtName, os.path.join(os.environ["HOMEPATH"], "Desktop"))

python copy desktop filepath

This works on both Windows and Linux:

import osdesktop = os.path.expanduser("~/Desktop")# the above is valid on Windows (after 7) but if you want it in os normalized form:desktop = os.path.normpath(os.path.expanduser("~/Desktop"))
