Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to provide that script. I
experimented with it, but it does not work as desired in Idle. I tried:
* Changed to project directory and then opened Idle
Idle -> File-> Open still opens ~/Documents — not the project folder.
* Placed the change folder script in ~/Documents, opened it in Idle and ran it
Idle did not change to the project folder — it stayed in whichever folder
the change folder script resided.
Unless someone can come up with a better option for macOS, the best that I can
think of is to add the project folder to the side bar so that it is easier to
access it in Idle -> File -> Open.
