"""
This module is based on a rox module (LGPL):

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/rox/ROX-Lib2/python/rox/basedir.py?rev=1.9&view=log

The freedesktop.org Base Directory specification provides a way for
applications to locate shared data and configuration:

    http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/

(based on version 0.6)

This module can be used to load and save from and to these directories.

Typical usage:

    from rox import basedir
    
    for dir in basedir.load_config_paths('mydomain.org', 'MyProg', 'Options'):
        print "Load settings from", dir

    dir = basedir.save_config_path('mydomain.org', 'MyProg')
    print >>file(os.path.join(dir, 'Options'), 'w'), "foo=2"

Note: see the rox.Options module for a higher-level API for managing options.
