The PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable does not work--does not import the indicated startup file--when IDLE is started under Windows. I have tested under Windows XP SP2, and under Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit. The os.environ variable does list the startup file, but IDLE fails to run it. |

Believe it or not, this is the documented behavior of Idle on all platforms. You have to specify -s to have PYTHONSTARTUP run. See the last comment in Issue5594, and also the referenced issue 5233, which has a patch that apparently changes this behavior, although that isn't mentioned in that issue itself. I'm making this a feature request for changing the default behavior, to see what people think. |

David, thank you for the research on related issues. #5233 explicitly includes this proposal: "The former effect of -s would now be the default,". So I am closing this as a partial duplicate. I will explain here why I reject this. |
