I was just clarifying how -c works, plus for some reason I thought you
wanted an interactive session. In fact, I'm still confused about that
because PYTHONSTARTUP only runs for an interaction startup. It doesn't
run with -c, -m, or a script.

If I run a program that's on the PATH, I expect it to load/save files
relative to my current working directory, so I'm -1 on changing the
working directory. If you have a resource stored relative to the
script, use __file__ or sys.argv[0] to find it. Store per-user
configuration and data in the user's profile:

    Windows
    Registry (HKCU) - %USERPROFILE%\NTUSER.DAT
    %APPDATA%       - %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming
    %LOCALAPPDATA%  - %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local

    Linux Freedesktop
    $XDG_CONFIG_HOME - ~/.config
    $XDG_DATA_HOME   - ~/.local/share
    $XDG_CACHE_HOME  - ~/.cache
