Steve Dower added the comment: Unfortunately it looks like MSI won't let you put an environment variable into the shortcut, as it has to resolve it on install (see WkDir at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371847(VS.85).aspx)
Trying some other ideas, but it looks like the most robust solution will be for IDLE to change the current directory on startup (maybe via a command line option?), or specify the initial directory in its open/save dialogs. Otherwise, the best I can realistically promise is to set it to the Python install directory, which is not particularly useful either... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25450> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
