One way to accomplish this is to start Python with the -Qnew switch: python -Qnew If you want to run a script with this option, e.g. the script division.py with this content: print 11/3 then use c:\Python24\python -Qnew division.py 3.6666666667 (or something similar on a Linux system) Regards, Gregor Christian Mascher schrieb:
Hello all,
I managed to do this once, but I forgot.
I want division always to be imported from __future__ at startup.
Putting from __future__ import division in a file sitecustomize.py doesn't work (which I think is counterintuitive). Do I have to use PYTHONSTARTUP variable? Is there any way at all?
I searched google and python.org but didn't find a quick answer to this. Perhaps somebody can help me out?
Thanks,
Christian
