[issue8231] Unable to run IDLE without write-access to home directory

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

I don't know of any request for a new option, so I would go for something simple that lets Idle run. Temporary files are a good idea for breakpoints (temporary anyway, I think) and maybe for recent files.
