Description

The code that launches a non-root domain expects to use the base directory of the original root domain - which is essentially the location of python.exe.

The suggestion is to allow specifying the following:

  • inherit from root domain
  • current directory
  • directory of the script importing clr
  • specific folder

Research direction

Trace the code that launches a non-root domain and determine how it currently obtains the original root domain's base directory. Define and implement support for inheriting that directory, using the current directory, using the directory of the importing script, or selecting a specific folder; done means each option controls the launched domain's base directory as described.
