Find the user directory for IDA Pro in a platform-independent way

Project description

find_ida_user_dir determines the current user's IDA Pro user directory in a platform independent way.

import find_ida_user_dir
user_dir = find_ida_user_dir.find_path()

plugins_dir = find_ida_user_dir.find_path("plugins")

find_ida_user_dir first checks for the existence of an IDAUSR environment variable: if it is present, that is returned. If not, the correct path of the default user directory as described in the IDA Pro documentation is returned. If a subdirectory name is given then the path to that subdirectory in the IDA user directory is returned.

find_ida_user_dir is useful for creating installation scripts for IDA plugins which need to identify the IDA user directory so that they know where to copy the plugin module to.
