This defines the environment variables JUPYTER_CONFIG_DIR and JUPYTER_CONFIG_PATH which are described here.
They are set to
%WINPYDIR%\etc\jupyterwith this PR.On Windows Jupyter searches for configuration files in
%PROGRAMDATA%\jupyter\andC:\Users\Username\.jupyterfirst, if the variables above are not defined. If one also has a "regular" Jupyter installation using these directories, the winpython environment may load configuration files from these locations and cause issues.Apart from that, the winpython environment might place files here, which affects portability.
In my USB drive installation of winpython I also created an empty file in
%WINPYDIR%\etc\jupyter\jupyter_notebook_config.pybut I am not certain this is necessary. This will cause Jupyter to "find" a configuration file and not search any further.
Calling
jupyter --pathswill still list directories on C:, but at the end of the search queue.
