The rust library mentioned there doesn’t support system install paths for windows or macOS, it only uses XDG. I recommend the directories crate which properly supports Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Same with Python. I use a combination of the platformdirs and xdg libraries.

Thanks I was going to look for one with multi OS support :)
