Lennart> What do you need to do in the PYTHONSTARTUP file? Just reading off stuff from my own personal startup file... I use it for stuff I want available during interactive sessions:
1. Enable true division. 2. Conditionally define "help" from back in the days when there was no help builtin function. 3. Auto-save session (readline) history so I can easily recall commands across sessions. 4. Add other fake builtins ("like") or override behavior of some (like "dir") making them handier for interactive use. 5. autoload modules/symbols (pokes around in common modules from sys.excepthook function). Oh, and I've had no particular trouble keeping it working in Python 1, 2 or 3.
