Fwd: [Fab-user] fabric on Win32

[Kevin Horn]

SIGINT seems to work as expected on my WinXP box here (see attached test script).

Need to be careful to only call it from the main thread, but AFAIK that's not a Win32-specific issue.

As far as finding the  user's profile directory, tehre about a bajillion and one way sto do it, but I think the most foolproof is something like this:
(also attached in case of tab-mangling)

===BEGIN
def get_current_user_profile():
    import win32api
    import win32security
    import win32profile

    PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION = 1024
   
    pid = win32api.GetCurrentProcessId()
    handle = win32api.OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION, 0, pid)
    token = win32security.OpenProcessToken(handle, win32security.TOKEN_QUERY)

    profile_dir = win32profile.GetUserProfileDirectory(token)
    return profile_dir

print get_current_user_profile()
====END

This should work on Win2K and up, as long as the user has sufficient rights, which I don't _THINK_ will be a problem for this.

If that doesn't work for some reason, a query on the pywin32 mailing list might turn up something better.

Ok. I'll apply it once I'm through Niklas Linströms changes.

There's a SIGINT trap in _connect(). I don't have access to a windows
machine so I don't know how compatible that is.

There might also be an issue with the user-wide configuration file.
Fabric uses `os.path.expanduser("~/.fabric")` to find that file, but
there's some windows specific issues with that as detailed here:
