    "unable to create user config directory Z:\.idlerc check path and permisssion"

    It through out this error, when I try to launch the IDLE not as an adminnistrator acount. There is an networed disk memory Z: on my computer

    this error is caused by configHandler.py script in the Lib/idlelib directory. Here is a solution: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24006687/Invalid-Python-config-directory.html

    This is a duplicate of bpo-8231. But before I close this, when you do

    set
    in the console (command prompt), what HOME* variables are set and is USERPROFILE?

    In python, what does

    >>> from os.path import expanduser
>>> expanduser('~')
show?

    Hi Terry,
    Sorry, I missed your resply because it was buried in my trash email.
    Here are the configuration in my PC:
    HOMEDRIVE=Z:
    HOMEPATH=\
    HOMESHARE=\\nt3.imec.be\zhai65
    LOCALAPPDATA=C:\Users\zhai65\AppData\Local

    USERPROFILE=C:\Users\zhai65
    In python
>>> expanduser('~')
'C:\\Users\\zhai65'

    I partly bypassed the bug by following the instructions shown in my
    previous link.
