Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment:
Note that IDLE.app sets the current working directory to ~/Documents to have a sane working directory (and hence sane behavior in file dialogs), by default app bundles on macOS are launched with the root directory as the current working directory. For "python3 -m idlelib" it is not really necessary to change the working directory, and changing it might confuse users that also use IDLE on other platforms. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39927> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
