Roger Serwy <roger.se...@gmail.com> added the comment:
I can confirm that setting HOMEPATH to a non-existent directory will prevent
IDLE from starting when using idle.bat. If you modify idle.bat such that
python.exe is called instead of pythonw.exe, then IDLE starts normally, but
with this console message:
Warning: os.path.expanduser("~") points to
C:\Users\doesnotexist
but the path does not exist.
Normally, the message is written to sys.stderr, which is None when using
pythonw. See issue13582 for more information.
