New submission from Mark Summerfield: On Windows IDLE's working directory is Python's install directory, e.g., C:\Python34. ISTM that this is the wrong directory for 99% of general users and for 100% of beginners since this is _not_ the directory where people should save their own .py files (unless they are experts, in which case they know better and won't anyway).
I think that IDLE should start out in the user's home directory (ideally on all platforms). ---------- components: IDLE messages: 224537 nosy: mark priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: IDLE should start with HOME as the initial working directory type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22121> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
