Python default working directory in Ubuntu installation

Hi @mrthomas3697,

Cool! Yes, 4.3 is scheduled for early December, so not too far from now, fortunately.

The workaround could be set up similarly to what is described under Option 2: Manual in our Python installation guide.
You would just need to slightly modify the shell script listed there like this (assuming you are using Conda environments):

#! /bin/bash
# Start by making sure that the anaconda folder is on the PATH
# so that the source activate command works.
# This isn't necessary if you already know that
# the anaconda bin dir is on the PATH
export PATH="<PATH_WHERE_YOU_INSTALLED_ANACONDA>/bin:$PATH"

conda activate py3_knime
cd "<PATH_TO_THE_DESIRED_WORKING_DIRECTORY>"
python "$@" 1>&1 2>&2

(The change is in the second to last line. You may also need to change the name of the used Conda environment in the line before.)
