I've never been able to get ActiveState Python's PythonWin to observe the file referenced in the Windows PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable.Many thanks for pointing out the obvious to me
AFAIK, PythonWin doesn't honor the PYTHONSTARTUP variable. IDLE does, but you have to use the -s option. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
