[Boa Constr] PYTHONSTARTUP

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

Is there a way to have boa automatically execute the script pointed to by
the PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable when boa starts?

By way of example, the regular python shell started at the DOS prompt runs
PYTHONSTARTUP automatically and IDLE does so if launched with the -s command
line switch. One possible bit of code would look like this (taken from the
python tutorial):

import os
filename = os.environ.get('PYTHONSTARTUP')
if filename and os.path.isfile(filename):
    execfile(filename)
