  But don't just build this path manually as the proper
  code for Linux should follow the XDG convention. I hope 
  that the library does this correctly!

  What I actually found on my harddisk was a "platformdirs"
  package from "setuptools", which seems to know about XDG.
  (I not sure whether the separated "platformdirs" from PyPI
  is the same.)
