Follow the XDG Base Directory Specification

[hakan-demirli]

There is XDG Base Directory Specification which dictates which files should go where.

According to that user data should go to $XDG_DATA_HOME on linux.

mitype/mitype/history.py

Line 17 in cdb2da1

history_filename = ".mitype_history.csv"

Without adding extra pip dependency:

from sys import platform
if platform == "linux" or platform == "linux2":
    XDG_DATA_HOME = os.environ.get('XDG_DATA_HOME', os.path.expanduser("~/.local/share"))
    user_data_file = XDG_DATA_HOME + "/.mitype_history.csv"
    return os.path.expanduser(user_data_file)
else:
    # as usual for windows
