Summary: future division broken w/ PYTHONSTARTUP

Initial Comment:
Version: 2.2.1
Compiler: gcc 2.95.3
Platform: linux (2.4 kernel)

If I create a file startup.py:
from __future__ import division
a = 1/2
print a

then setenv PYTHONSTARTUP startup.py
and launch python, it prints 0.5 like it should and the
variable a is available to me.  But, the future
division is not propagated to the interpreter.

~: setenv PYTHONSTARTUP startup.py
~: python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, May 16 2002, 16:10:22)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
0.5
>>> print a
0.5
>>> 1/2
0
It looks like the compiler flags from the PYTHONSTARTUP
file are not be passed to the interpreter.
