To manage paths of application data folder there is AppDataPaths class:

To create the application folder tree:

app_paths.setup()

There are few paths specified to manage your application data folder:

print(app_paths.name)  # myapp
print(app_paths.app_data_path)  # (for Linux and MacOS) /home/<user>/.myapp
print(app_paths.logs_path)  # (for Linux and MacOS) /home/<user>/.myapp/logs
print(app_paths.config_path)  # (for Linux and MacOS) /home/<user>/.myapp/default.ini
print(app_paths.log_file_path)  # (for Linux and MacOS) /home/<user>/.myapp/logs/myapp.log

Every path could be customized. See options here.
