[Edu-sig] How do I import from __future__ at startup?

[Gregor Lingl]

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
