Re: automatically import modules upon interpreter invocation

Daniel Fetchinson wrote:
Hi folks, this seems like a very basic thing but I couldn't find a solution.
I always do the following after starting the python interpreter (on linux):

import rlcompleter
import readline
readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")

Is there a way of making python execute the above whenever it starts
up so that I don't have to type it all the time?

Cheers,
Daniel
environment variable PYTHONSTARTUP can be set to a python file that runs
when you start the python interpreter
