Looking closer, it looks like sys.ps1 is set up just before the
interactive loop is started, but after sitecustomize.py is imported.

Given this, the easiest solution looks like the PYTHONSTARTUP
environment variable.  The file this points to is only executed for an
interactive session.  You could set this for all users in a global
shell startup file, or just set it from sitecustomize.py:

  import os
  os.environ['PYTHONSTARTUP'] = '/path/to/interactive_startup.py'
