I even tried both "true" and True since I don't know if that's supposed to be a string or a boolean , but neither syntax worked.

Unfortunately, modifying Chrome's Preferences file directly is not an option to me. The thing is, I need to set the download folder on my Python script, not on Chrome's Preferences file.

I was not recommending you hand edit the file, I was just using that method as a quick test bed. That was the key for me. Edited answer with a code sample. One other thought Thanks for the follow up, R Dub. Alas, I still can't make it work. You mentioned you are using a Windows install, so I wonder if it's some Mac issue. Well, I'll keep trying.

So your solution is to set it permanently, system-wide on the machine I'm running this? So when any other application, even outside of this script wants a download folder it gets what was last set by this script, correct? You are right, there is a big problem setting the variable as system-wide I discover the side effects that you comment some weeks ago. A workaround could be store temporally the older path and restore after finish the app and really ensure that it is restored the path if the script fails or so.
