Interesting. A way to avoid doing this would be to only load history if no history is already present. Since the sys.__interactivehook__ is executed after PYTHONSTARTUP, this would allow the latter to take precedence. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5845> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
