The rule for whether to switch to the configured directory might be if sys.stdout is None: chdir... On windows, this is true when starting in the console with pyw(pythonw) -m idlelib But there is no need to include the (Windows-only) 'w'. It is meant to be used in the Windows icon shortcut. The option to start in the configured directory even from the console might be seen as a plus.
