[issue15862] IDLE not working when due to wrong Hard Drive point of os.path.expanduser

[Cemal Duman]

New submission from Cemal Duman:

Hi 
Unfortunately i'm using Vista on my corparate laptop I can open my Python CLI 
without any problem but IDLE is not responding. When i started idle.py by 
issuing following command:

C:\Python27>python.exe Lib\idlelib\idle.py

I see following output:

C:\Python27>
 Warning: os.path.expanduser("~") points to
 H:\,
 but the path does not exist.

H:\ is my network drive. When i run the os.path.expanduser("~") at CLI i get 
following directory.

'C:\\Users\\edumcem\'

Thanks / Cemal

Hi,

yes exactly...

I changed my home by using below commands.
C:\Python27>set HOME=C:\
C:\Python27>python -m idlelib.idle

it is working. But if i reboot my computer HOME changes again to network drive. 
I think sth abour corporate programs rewrites this paramters. 

Thanks / Cemal
