RE: [Boa Constr] PYTHONSTARTUP

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

I got the latest CVS and this feature isn't working quite right for me. I've
looked at the IDLE source to see how Guido handled this and I see where the
problem lies. As soon as I have a chance I'll go through the boa code and
submit a patch to handle PYTHONSTARTUP the same way IDLE does. IDLE also
allows for an IDLESTARTUP so I'll look at adding a BOASTARTUP capability
while I'm at it.

Hi Patrick,

Ok, this is now added to Boa, like IDLE, use the commandline switch -s
to run it.

Thanks.
