1 # Add auto-completion and a stored history file of commands to your Python
2 # interactive interpreter. Requires Python 2.0+, readline. Autocomplete is
3 # bound to the Esc key by default (you can change it - see readline docs).
4 #
5 # Store the file in ~/.pystartup, and set an environment variable to point
6 # to it: "export PYTHONSTARTUP=/max/home/itamar/.pystartup" in bash.
7 #
8 # Note that PYTHONSTARTUP does *not* expand "~", so you have to put in the
9 # full path to your home directory.
