In README, on Linux:

from platformdirs import *
appname = "SuperApp"
appauthor = "Acme"
site_data_dir(appname, appauthor)
'/usr/local/share/SuperApp'

However, I get

In [16]: site_data_dir(appname, appauthor)
Out[16]: "/home/wzy/.local/share/SuperApp"

Is it a bug?

Could be. You'll need to provide more information though. Perhaps you have a bad XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable set https://github.com/platformdirs/platformdirs/blob/main/src/platformdirs/unix.py#LL49

You are right. Now I must find why the bad XDG_DATA_DIRS is added. Thanks!
