vim - Do python files need to be on the same drive as the plugin Python-mode for its functionality to work -

i'm using plugin python-mode gvim on windows machine.

i have following python-mode specific settings in vimrc file:

"------------------------------------------------------------ " settings python-mode " "----------------------------------------------------------- map <leader>g :call ropegotodefinition()<cr> let ropevim_enable_shortcuts = 1 let g:pymode_rope_goto_def_newwin = "vnew" let g:pymode_rope_extended_complete = 1 let g:pymode_breakpoint = 0 let g:pymode_syntax = 1 let g:pymode_syntax_builtin_objs = 0 let g:pymode_syntax_builtin_funcs = 0 map <leader>b oimport ipdb; ipdb.set_trace() # breakpoint<c-c>  "better navigating through omnicomplete option list set completeopt=longest,menuone function! omnipopup(action)     if pumvisible()         if a:action == 'j'             return "\<c-n>"         elseif a:action == 'k'             return "\<c-p>"         endif     endif         return a:action endfunction  inoremap <silent><c-j> <c-r>=omnipopup('j')<cr> inoremap <silent><c-k> <c-r>=omnipopup('k')<cr> 

these suggested in this tutorial.

vimrc on m: drive.

now if open vim (set open in m: drive) , open python file on p: drive , try save file following error message:

if move file pi.py m: drive happy surely use files in vim shouldn't condition file being edited on same drive vim?

can change settings python-mode function on files other drives?

---

edit python-mode has following setting looks promising:

" additional python paths
let g:pymode_paths = []

so in vimrc i've added

let g:pymode_paths = ['p:\comp apps\python\']

but still if open .py file location same error message.

if execute :lcd %:p:h python-mode plugin seems working. can use set autochdir in vimrc: not sure if there disadvantages using setting.
