as] Possible Enhancement to py Launcher - set default 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 overh

Re: [Python-ideas] Possible Enhancement to py Launcher - set default

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

Re: [Python-ideas] Possible Enhancement to py Launcher - set default

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

Re: [Python-ideas] Possible Enhancement to py Launcher - set default

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

Re: [Python-ideas] Possible Enhancement to py Launcher - set default

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

[Python-ideas] Possible Enhancement to py Launcher - set default

When a new version of python is in alpha/beta it is often desirable to have it installed for tests but remain on a previous version for day to day use. However, currently the Windows py launcher defaults to the highest version that it finds, which means that unless you are very careful you
