Hello, Trying to use Python (3.8) + IDLE on my MAC (10.13.6 High Sierra).
Would appreciate help on this very basic issue : When I write a script and save it, IDLE wants by default to save it in ~/Documents (as listed by File > Path Browser). Is there a way to change this default location to something different ? The answers received so far from the Tutor maillist are somewhat helpful but I am still looking for more specific help, if available. Can you help ?
