| PythonLauncher, the application used to launch .py files by double-click, does not launch with the correct working directory. This means that any script that depends on data files will not work via PythonLauncher. Users expect the working directory to be that of the launched script, like on other platforms, but PythonLauncher launches with a working directory of $HOME. | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=580910 I agree that the current behaviour is not what users expect and should be considered a bug. I'd like to get the attached patch into 2.5, it changes the CWD to the directory containing the script and should be perfectly save. | ||
