Specification ============= [...] user configuration directory

Usually the parent directory of the user site directory. It's meant for Python version specific data like config files. Windows: %APPDATA%/Python/Python26 Mac: ~/Library/Python/2.6 Unix: ~/.local/lib/python2.6

What do you mean by "configuration directory"? IMHO configuration files on linux/unix should go into ~/.python2.6 or ~/.config/python2.6 or something like that?

(I would never look in a directory named 'lib' for configuration files.)
