Greetings Mac Houdini users!

I am hoping someone knows where the Houdini default file location is on a Mac.

For example on a windows machine, if I was to execute the following sequence in the Python shell:
file = open('testRoberto.py', 'w')
file.write(hou.node('/obj/testgeometry_rubbertoy1').asCode(recurse=True))
file.close()
The output file by default is found in C:\users\<user name> folder.
Since I do not have access to a Mac, could anyone who does please inform me where that folder is?

Thank you very much for your time!

Thank you John Mather!

Being unfamiliar with MAC OS, is "myuser" the actual folder name or is it the user's account name?

Thank you for your time!

wouldn't python's cwd depend on the directory Houdini was launched from? for example if I double click a hip file, my cwd is set to the location of the hip file. If I launch houdini from the command line, Houdini's cwd is set to the command's cwd. Is it the same on Mac OS?
