If PYTHONSTARTUP is the only envvar with non-fatal errors, I think it’s okay. PYTHONHOME contains vital information, PYTHONIOENCODING is set by the programmer/admin and their code probably depends on it, but PYTHONSTARTUP is just niceties for the interactive interpreter, so non-vital IMO. ---------- nosy: +eric.araujo versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.3 -Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6501> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
