New submission from lesmana <lesm...@gmx.de>: if started as an interactive session python should check for and read ~/.pythonrc.py by default.
furthermore there should be two options added: --rcfile filename this will read filename instead of ~/.pythonrc --norc this will prevent reading ~/.pythonrc (this is inspired by how bash handles initialization) afterwards the variable PYTHONSTARTUP can be deprecated. as far as i know, everything which can be done by the variable PYTHONSTARTUP can be done with the suggested method. the advantage of the suggested method is that it is "intuitive" in the sense that it is the way most other tools do it (bash for example). ---------- messages: 107197 nosy: lesmana priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: python should read ~/.pythonrc.py by default type: feature request _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8919> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
