Summary: recent-files defaulted to strange place and bad permissions
Initial Comment:
After a non-admin install of Python 2.3 with Python 2.2
admin-installed, I got:
C:\Python23\Lib\idlelib>c:\python23\python idle.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "idle.py", line 23, in ?
idlelib.PyShell.main()
File "C:\Python23\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 1277, in
main
flist.pyshell = PyShell(flist)
File "C:\Python23\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 721, in
__init__
OutputWindow.__init__(self, flist, None, None)
File "C:\Python23\lib\idlelib\OutputWindow.py", line 16,
in __init__
EditorWindow.__init__(self, *args)

self.UpdateRecentFilesList()
File "C:\Python23\lib\idlelib\EditorWindow.py", line 580,
in UpdateRecentFilesList
RFfile=open(self.recentFilesPath,'r')
IOError: [Errno13] Permission denied: 'F:\.idlerc\recent-
files.lst'
======
I have a login to a university server, and the F drive is
the user drive. I don't recall specifying that anything
should be kept on the F drive, and would prefer that
recent files be kept on the local machine.
Changing my own permissions to .idlerc to allow full
permissions, and to apply these permissions to contents,
worked and resolved the problem, except that multiple
users use the same network drive and will now share
recent files.
Idle 1.0 under the brand-spanking-new Python2.3, with
Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Build
2600.
