New submission from Raymond Hettinger: In my Python courses, Windows users frequently ask about how to set a startup directory so they can run from their Desktop or a custom directory.
The usual answer is to create a short-cut and then alter the properties on that shortcut. However, other programs they are used to will allow the startup directory to be specified from within the program (in our case, the preferences menu). Also, we should change the default directory from C:\\Python27 which is almost never the right place. A documents directory would be more appropriate. ---------- assignee: terry.reedy components: IDLE messages: 281494 nosy: rhettinger, terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Option to set startup directory in IDLE versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28775> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
