Re: [Jython-users] Does Jython have a 'startup file' like Python?

[Jim B. <jim...@py...>]

David,

Thanks for reporting this!

As you mention, support for PYTHONSTARTUP is currently missing from Jython,
but it could be readily added in a future release (hopefully 2.7.1, but
always a question of prioritization).

In the meantime, you could use sitecustomize (see
http://pymotw.com/2/site/#sitecustomize for a good description on how to
use this support), and use that check for the PYTHONSTARTUP environment
variable. But the challenge here is to determine if the session is
interactive or not. In CPython, you can do by checking hasattr(sys, "ps1"),
but sys.ps1 is always defined currently in Jython, regardless if
interactive or not. (Should be fixed as well.) There may be another way of
performing this check, but I'm not aware of it at this time.

Please feel free to file bugs at http://bugs.jython.org/
