automatically import modules upon interpreter invocation

[Daniel Fetchinson]

Hi folks, this seems like a very basic thing but I couldn't find a solution.
I always do the following after starting the python interpreter (on linux):

import rlcompleter
import readline
readline.parse_ and_bind("tab: complete")

Is there a way of making python execute the above whenever it starts
up so that I don't have to type it all the time?

Cheers,
Daniel

Create a script containing these statements, and specify its location with
the PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable. Your script will run whenever
python starts.
