I am thinking of patching IDLE to switch to $HOME when cwd is the python install dir, but this would very likely only be done for 3.6 as part of re-writing the startup code. > and any environment variables that may be needed/helpful.

IDLE's "-r file.py" runs the file and leaves Shell open. I believe this is meant as a substitute for setting $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP and using -s. For development, one should open in the editor and hit f5. There might be a controversy whether to run in IDLE or 'python -i'. If control or alt click could be distinguished, both would be possible. Are you going to open issues, or should I? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27469> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
