Python on Windows Store missing details on folder redirection #95029

Closed

Description

Documentation

In using/windows.html#the-microsoft-store-package the current description of the Windows Store package describes writing to TEMP as having special behaviours.

The packaging is broader than this, writes to well-known Windows folders, including TEMP and APPDATA, LOCALAPPDATA are redirected.

The documentation should explain this better, as the link to the external Microsoft Docs doesn't explain it either.

There are also workarounds, like using os.path.realpath and disabling aliases.
