Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
The rule for whether to switch to the configured directory might be if sys.stdout is None: chdir... On windows, this is true when starting in the console with pyw(pythonw) -m idlelib But there is no need to include the (Windows-only) 'w'. It is meant to be used in the Windows icon shortcut. The option to start in the configured directory even from the console might be seen as a plus. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue28775> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
