Subject: Getting Python on Windows points USER_HOME
Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2020 00:08:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <SN6PR08MB40147D5AA5956B0DD858914FB70D0@SN6PR08MB4014.namprd08.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Having installed the latest Cygwin-built Python distro (3.8.1), it thinks user-site is C:\Users\<myName>\AppData\Roaming ...



For all the usual reasons (and I'm confident like many of y'all) I strongly prefer having user-site = ~, i.e. *nix-style.



I've munged Lib/site.py and sysconfig.py to set base = "~" when os.name == "nt", but this doesn't do the trick.  What am I missing?

Thanks,

-rjs
