[Python-modules-team] Bug#656338: PyXDG

[Thomas Kluyver]

I'm happy to add support for $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, but I don't know what
the most common fallback directory is if the environment variable is
not set.

The spec is unhelpfully vague: "If $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set
applications should fall back to a replacement directory with similar
capabilities and print a warning message."

For future reference, the upstream bug tracker is here:

Thanks
