While this thread has focused on the location and means of managing py.ini,
I think there is a more general solution that should be considered to the
original problem, as described. The problem isn't that it's difficult or
non-obvious how to set the default python for the py.exe launcher (that's a

Hi all,
Just want to point out that if tools can accept a config file in
a cross-platform standard location
(perhaps in addition to a platform-specific one),
then that is incredibly useful.
Just search on Github for "dotfiles", and see how many people
store their configuration in a git repo, so t

There are a few different points here:
1. There's no relationship between pip and the py launcher - they are
separate tools/projects. Any co-operation in terms of file locations
would have to be a result of common standards. Those would normally be
platform standards, not Python ones.
2. On Window
My only request for change would be to consolidate the various tools'
behavior wrt their .ini file locations. Pip, for example, wants the file
in ~/pip/pip.ini, while py.exe (on Windows) wants its py.ini in
$LOCALAPPDATA. If they were all in a common location (or the same file
with separate secti
I'm reluctant to expand the feature set of the launcher in this
direction. It's written in C, and tightly focused on being a
lightweight launcher. Adding code to manage user options and persist
them to the py.ini file would be a non-trivial overhead, as well as
being hard to maintain (because C cod
