Hi Riaan!

Thanks for the quick response.

Well, not really. I'm not sure if my question is boa related or a 
general newbie question. But WingIDE has some of the features I was 
looking for in Boa and couldn't find. So I'll try to re-formulate my 
question:

Without Boa I can also set paths (environment variables like PYTHONPATH) 
in a start script. Using WingIDE I have a lot of options (properties) to 
set the environment for debugging (not running) files. Most of them I 
couldn't find in Boa. A short comparison:


WingIDE            --  Boa Constructor

Run Arguments      --  File > Set command-line parameters
Python Executable  --  Preferences > General > pythonInterpreterPath
Python Path        --  ?
Run Directory      --  ?
Environment        --  ?


I hope you can give me an answer like one of these:

( ) Boa has the same features. Just look ...(?)

( ) Boa doesn't have these features by design. If you want to set your 
environment for debugging/running files, just do ...(?)

( ) What do you expect? This is still alpha. The features you are 
talking about may be added in a future release. But there's a 
workaround: ... (?)

( ) This is a general python question. Please ask on a python list.


TIA!
