I'm trying to run some commands with mingw from python. However, somehow my home directory (for mingw) is being changed when I initialize tk. Here's an example:
import os
from Tkinter import Tk
os.system("C:/msys/1.0/bin/sh.exe --login -i -c 'pwd' ") # just print my home directory
root = Tk()
os.system("C:/msys/1.0/bin/sh.exe --login -i -c 'pwd' ") # just print my home directory
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
output:
/home/Pete
/c/Documents and Settings/Pete
As you can see, initializing Tk has somehow changed my mingw home directory from "/home/Pete" to "/c/Documents and Settings/Pete". Since "/home/Pete" has my login script, this is a major problem.
The actual change happens at _tkinter.create(.....) during Tk().
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Pete
