Get windows/system folder location in Python
How would I go about getting the Windows/System folder paths in python? I need to be able to read from an INI that gets written to the Windows directory.

Use the environment variable %WINDIR%.
import os
winpath = os.environ['WINDIR'] + "\\System\\"
inifile = open(winpath + filename)
