This isn't _exactly_ what you wanted, but you might want to try using IPython, a much improved Python shell, http://ipython.scipy.org/ You can easily configure it to automatically import whatever kind of modules you want on start, etc... and it has many other features, I just can't picture touching the normal Python shell anymore. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
