在Python中,正确定位Windows文件夹有些麻烦。根据涵盖微软开发技术(如this one)的答案,应该使用Vista Known Folder API获得它们。这个API没有被Python标准库包装(尽管有an issue from 2008请求它),但是可以使用ctypes模块访问它。
修改上述答案以使用文件夹id进行下载shown here,并将其与现有的Unix代码相结合,应该会产生如下代码:import os
if os.name == 'nt':
import ctypes
from ctypes import windll, wintypes
from uuid import UUID
# ctypes GUID copied from MSDN sample code
class GUID(ctypes.Structure):
_fields_ = [
("Data1", wintypes.DWORD),
("Data2", wintypes.WORD),
("Data3", wintypes.WORD),
("Data4", wintypes.BYTE * 8)
]
def __init__(self, uuidstr):
uuid = UUID(uuidstr)
ctypes.Structure.__init__(self)
self.Data1, self.Data2, self.Data3, \
self.Data4[0], self.Data4[1], rest = uuid.fields
for i in range(2, 8):
self.Data4[i] = rest>>(8-i-1)*8 & 0xff
SHGetKnownFolderPath = windll.shell32.SHGetKnownFolderPath
SHGetKnownFolderPath.argtypes = [
ctypes.POINTER(GUID), wintypes.DWORD,
wintypes.HANDLE, ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_wchar_p)
]
def _get_known_folder_path(uuidstr):
pathptr = ctypes.c_wchar_p()
guid = GUID(uuidstr)
if SHGetKnownFolderPath(ctypes.byref(guid), 0, 0, ctypes.byref(pathptr)):
raise ctypes.WinError()
return pathptr.value
FOLDERID_Download = '{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}'
def get_download_folder():
return _get_known_folder_path(FOLDERID_Download)
else:
def get_download_folder():
home = os.path.expanduser("~")
return os.path.join(home, "Downloads")
从Python检索已知文件夹的更完整的模块是available on github。
