Thanks.
I'm stuck with QT 4.8.5 at the moment so QStandardPaths is not
available, but I could use QDesktopServices instead, e.g.:
QtGui.QDesktopServices.storageLocation(QtGui.QDesktopServices.HomeLocation)
What would be the difference to os.path.expanduser('~') though?

Hi Frank.
Looks like the host application uses QSettings::setPath()
(http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsettings.html#setPath) to enforce a specific
directory for configuration files. Calling that method from your code is
obviously a bad idea (high risk of screwing up the host application), so
your "fallback"
In the meantime I am falling back on using this:
os.path.expanduser('~/.config/companyName/appName')
While this does not give me the OS' native support directory for the
respective user at least it's consistent :)
I'd still be interested in a QSettings solution though.

Hi all,
I have been using QSettings for reading/writing user settings.
All works well until I run my (PySide) application inside a host
application that is also written in QT, and which also uses the
QSettings object.
I am now struggling to understand how I can properly differentiate
between
