Typically the 'default data storage' is in 'last used' directory or most
programs even have a browse setting that one can quickly set and reset.
What do people here generally do?
When I installed 3.3, (W7- 64) I selected the first option for paths etc.
and everything seems to just run fine
I have a c:\Programs folder where I put multiple versions of python and
selected other programs whose directories I might want to visit.
Don't store your files in the Python33 directory even though it is idle's
default
suggestion.
I once did that, but then I had to move stuff when the Python x.y
directory became obsolete. It was also a problem when I wanted to test a
file with more than one python version.
I have my Python code sitting in appropriate subdirectories of a 'Projects'
folder
somewhere (on a different drive on my Windows system, or just a subfolder in my
homedirectory on my Linux VM).
I have a file tem.py in my miscellaneous python directory. When I am
writing possibly throwaway code, I open it from the recent files list,
empty the old code, and go. I can always save as another name if I want
to keep the code. tem.py is almost always on the list because I use it
frequently.
