Python install manager and CWD

[TheConfax]

Background

Python install manager installed via Windows Store, trying to launch a .py script by double clicking after uninstalling old python launcher.

Details

I expected the CWD to be the script's folder, instead i get C:\WINDOWS\System32, not reaching to the files of my script.
I am solving with os.chdir(Path(file).resolve().parent) but is this expected behavior? should I add that line to every script I make?

Yes, I'm afraid the working directory is outside of our control when you use a file association. You can report it to Microsoft through their Feedback app, or add a chdir to your script.

Another alternative is to create batch files for your scripts (if you put @py "%~dpn0.py" %* in the file, it'll launch an adjacent .py script with the same name and all the arguments), and then you can double click that instead. Then you can do more to customise how it launches without having to put it in the script itself (which might become a problem if you later launch it using py ... from a terminal).
