How to get a file using %APPDATA% in python 3.9?

I want to store in a variable this path APPDATA%/Roaming/FileZilla/sitemanager.xml.

When i use:

file = "C:/Users/MyPC/AppData/Roaming/FileZilla/sitemanager.xml"

it works, but when i use:

file = "APPDATA%/Roaming/FileZilla/sitemanager.xml"

the file cannot be stored and i cant send via paramiko.

Anyone helps?

>Solution :

You can retrieve the env variable with getenv function from os module. You can also use Path to easily manipulate paths.

import os
import pathlib

appdata = pathlib.Path(os.getenv('APPDATA'))
xmlfile = appdata / 'FileZilla' / 'sitemanager.xml'
