Path.home() may fail un (https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/17707#issuecomment-647180252). 1. I think the raised key error is too low-level, and it should be something else; what exactly t.b.d. 2. The documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path.home) should specify what happens in case of failure. 3. The documentation links to https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html#os.path.expanduser, but that's not correct. _PosixFlavor.gethomedir() implements it's own user lookup, which is slightly different from os.path.expanduser()
