Hello there,
I am not an IDLE user. You may try a startup script from python, as per the 
following. 
oney@oney:~$ cat pyhelp/change_to_current_dir.py #!/usr/bin/env python3
import osimport sys
print("Current directory is:")print(os.path.abspath(os.path.curdir))print("Path 
to this file is:")print(os.path.abspath(__file__))# Changing current directory 
to this file's 
directoryos.chdir(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))print("Current 
directory now is:")print(os.path.abspath(os.path.curdir))# 
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(__file__))# os.curdir()oney@oney:~$
