So try launching idle from the directory you want to use?

I suppose the "how it is installed" defaults Terry described above are
when launching it from graphical menu / shortcut.
I know Windows start menu shortcuts have editable working directory;
don't know about Mac but worst case you could write a shell script:

#!/bin/sh
cd /PATH/YOU/WANT
idle3 "$@"

and create a launch icon for that...
