[issue8231] Unable to run IDLE without write-access to config directory
Brian Curtin br...@python.org added the comment: Please don't close it. Users in this situation can't use IDLE. We should at least try alternative locations to create this directory or perhaps prompt them for a directory they'd like to use. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8231 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue8231] Unable to run IDLE without write-access to config directory
Brian Curtin cur...@acm.org added the comment: I just reproduced this by removing write access from my user for my home directory. It seems odd that you wouldn't have write access to your home directory in the first place, but that's tangent to the issue. I'll see if there are other acceptable locations to attempt to place the config directory. -- components: +Library (Lib) nosy: +brian.curtin priority: - normal stage: - needs patch title: Subprocess Startup Error - unable to create user config directory - Unable to run IDLE without write-access to config directory type: crash - behavior ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8231 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
