Just to put this into perspective: I personally don't see that as a very important problem. I didn't know IDLESTARTUP existed, and I use PYTHONSTARTUP only for the command line (to setup readline and history). I think there are many more open issues that are *way* more important. This is not to say that the patch should not applied - I haven't even looked at it. It's just a warning that, if no other committer feels this is as important as you fell it is, it may not be committed reviewed and committed before 3.1.
