Conversation
The XDG user-dirs spec added XDG_PROJECTS_DIR in xdg-user-dirs 0.0.4 and recently wired it up fully (commit 217cae71 upstream). Closes #485. Follows the same pattern as user_documents_dir and other media dirs: Unix reads from user-dirs.dirs via _get_user_media_dir, XDGMixin overrides with the env var, and all other platforms default to ~/Projects since no native shell folder exists for projects on macOS, Windows, or Android.

The XDG user-dirs spec added
XDG_PROJECTS_DIRin xdg-user-dirs 0.0.4 and recently wired it up fully (see commit 217cae71 and issue xdg-user-dirs#3). Other ecosystems (Rustdirs, Javadirectories-jvm) already expose this. Closes #485.The implementation follows the same pattern as
user_documents_dirand other XDG user-dirs: on Linux,unix.pyreads fromuser-dirs.dirsvia_get_user_media_dir("XDG_PROJECTS_DIR", "~/Projects"),XDGMixinin_xdg.pyhandles the env var override, and all other platforms (macOS, Windows, Android) fall back to~/Projectssince no native shell folder exists for projects on those platforms.Both
user_projects_dir(str) anduser_projects_path(Path) are exposed as properties, module-level convenience functions, and documented inapi.rstandplatforms.rst.
