"app_name" is the name of application.
If None, just the system directory is returned.
"app_author" (only used on Windows) is the name of the
app_author or distributing body for this application. Typically
it is the owning company name. This falls back to app_name. You may
pass False to disable it.
"version" is an optional version path element to append to the
path. You might want to use this if you want multiple versions
of your app to be able to run independently. If used, this
would typically be "<major>.<minor>".
Only applied when app_name is present.
"multi_path" is an optional parameter only applicable to *nix
which indicates that the entire list of data dirs should be
returned. By default, the first item from XDG_DATA_DIRS is
returned, or '/usr/local/share/<AppName>',
if XDG_DATA_DIRS is not set
Typical site data directories are:
Mac OS X: /Library/Application Support/<AppName>
Unix: /usr/local/share/<AppName> or /usr/share/<AppName>
Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\<AppAuthor>\<AppName>
Vista: (Fail! "C:\ProgramData" is a hidden *system* directory on Vista.)
Win 7: C:\ProgramData\<AppAuthor>\<AppName> # Hidden, but writeable on Win 7.
For Unix, this is using the $XDG_DATA_DIRS[0] default.
WARNING: Do not use this on Windows. See the Vista-Fail note above for why."""

Only applied when appname is present.
"opinionated" (boolean) can be False to disable the appending of
"Cache" to the base app data dir for Windows. See
discussion below.
Typical user cache directories are:
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Caches/<AppName>
Unix: ~/.cache/<AppName> (XDG default)
Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application
Data\<AppAuthor>\<AppName>\Cache
Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\<AppAuthor>\<AppName>\Cache
On Windows the only suggestion in the MSDN docs is that local settings go in
the `CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA` directory. This is identical to the non-roaming
app data dir (the default returned by `user_data_dir` above). Apps typically
put cache data somewhere *under* the given dir here. Some examples:
...\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<ProfileName>\Cache
...\Acme\SuperApp\Cache\1.0
OPINION: This function appends "Cache" to the `CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA` value.
This can be disabled with the `opinionated=False` option."""

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;310294#XSLTH3194121123120121120120
- Mac OS X: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/index.html
- XDG spec for Un*x: https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
Typical user data directories are:
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/<AppName>
Unix: ~/.local/share/<AppName> # or in $XDG_DATA_HOME, if defined
Win XP (not roaming): C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\<AppAuthor>\<AppName>

That means, by default "~/.local/share/<AppName>"."""
