Find the explicit path of %USERPROFILE% in windows 7

Question

I am trying to find the current %USERPROFILE% path on windows 7.

What is the simplest way to do this?

I've tried hunting around with regedit

N.b. I'm doing this as part of setting up a python virtual envionment on windows.

@DudenamedBen Thanks yes - came to the same answer independently in the end.. — Lee, Commented Aug 9, 2016 at 15:21
I put it in, but you can accept it or your own answer. Whatever floats your boat. ;) — Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007, Commented Aug 9, 2016 at 15:24

If you're not looking for a python-specific answer, you can just open a command prompt and run echo %userprofile%.

Managed to do it using python:

import os
os.environ['USERPROFILE']
