When I open python's IDLE and want to open a .py file, the default directory location is: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32 but this is annoying because I want the default location to be in C:\Users\user\documents. So, how can i change the settings so that every time i try opening a file in IDLE it chooses the documents location?

  • You could use the command line to launch IDLE from `C:\Users\user\documents` – Denziloe Mar 11 '17 at 22:58

You can use cmd to open py idle.

for example! - use instruction to set path to your idle:

> set example=C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\PythonIDLE.exe

{set} [path_name]=[idle_execute_path]

next, to open program use console:

> example program.py

{path_name} {yourprogram.py} {args}

Otherhand:

import os os.getcwd() '/home/ss' os.chdir("codss") #change current working directory os.getcwd() '/home/ss/codss'

some else to think: may be edit file from:

C:\Users\alfa\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Lib\idlelib

idle.py or pathbrowser.py

Idk, you can see here: Default working directory for Python IDLE? or Default save path for Python IDLE?
