Python has the ability to run a script at startup.
However, this feature has no examples and I'm not sure
how many people use it. I've written this script that
(using readline):

1) Turns on auto-complete
2) Makes the command history saved between sessions
3) Is a good example of a startup script

I think this should be in the examples or tools, so
that Python packagers can integrate this on platforms
where readline is available.
