   I have no idea about typical windows folders whatsoever. Any other opinions?

   Here's an excerpt from stackoverflow (https://superuser.com/questions/21458/why-are-there-directories-called-local-locallow-and-roaming-under-users-user):

   Roaming is the folder that would be synchronized with a server if you logged into a domain with a roaming profile (enabling you to log into any computer in a domain and access your favorites, documents, etc. Firefox stores its information here, so you could even have the same bookmarks between computers with a roaming profile.

   Local is the folder that is specific to that computer - any information here would not be synchronized with a server. This folder is equivalent in Windows XP to C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data.

   LocalLow is the same folder as local, but it has a lower integrity level. Internet Explorer 8, for example, can only write to the locallow folder (when protected mode is on).

   Based on this, I would think Local is the way to go.

   Can you fix it in parso and create a pull request (jedi's future parser)? https://github.com/davidhalter/parso
