Re: Setting active project in Python

[Alok]

I know it sounds counter-intuitive but this will not create a new project instead it will set the path to your existing project. May be some bug . . . So you can safely pass the path to your existing project path and it will set it as your existing project. This works on my machine when I change to an already existing project. It does not create a new one but simply sets an existing one.
