eryksun added the comment: On Windows, how about creating a junction (_winapi.CreateJunction in 3.5, or the shell's mklink /j) from ~\.idlerc to %APPDATA%\idle? If ~\.idlerc already exists, it could be moved to %APPDATA%\idle before creating the junction. New code would directly use %APPDATA%\idle, but old code would continue to use ~\.idlerc.
Creating junctions requires no special privilege, but IDLE would need write access to the user's home directory. If write access is denied, at least newer IDLE versions that use %APPDATA% would work. On Linux, a symbolic link could be created from ~/.idlerc to [$XDG_CONFIG_HOME|~/.config]/idle. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24765> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
