Let me add that os.path.expanduser is the Right Way™ to get a user’s home directory on POSIX too, since not every setup has a $HOME envvar or a /etc/passwd file. The only interface one should use is the pwd module (or  getent in shell scripts), and so does os.path.expanduser.

Reassigning to Distutils2.
