[IPython-dev] Deploying IPython on Windows campus network

[Chris Friedline]

Hi Johann,

That path is controlled by the environment variable, IPYTHONDIR, which
your windows admin could set on the boxes via Group Policy.

See here for more info: http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/config/intro.html

HTH,
Chris
