IDLE & Gadfly frustration

[Greg Jorgensen]

Python uses the current working directory, as returned by os.getcwd().
The Python interpreter will uses whatever directory it was invoked from
(where your DOS session is). IDLE uses the directory IDLE is in. You
can use os.chdir(path) to change the current working directory.
