Whats in your $PYTHONSTARTUP$ ?

 |Other than import statements, what little programming gems do you folks have
 |in your startup files?  I thought it would be useful to draw on the
 |collective knowledge of the Python community.  If we get enough good ideas
 |it might be worth sticking up on a web page, or even distributing (in the
 |demos or Tools section) with a later release.

Just a little fragment to colorize my python prompts.  Nowadays, I'm always
on a VT100 color capable terminal (recent xterm, aterm, FreeBSD/Linux
console, etc.).


     import sys,os
     if os.environ.get( 'TERM' ) in [ 'xterm', 'vt100' ]:
       sys.ps1 = '\001\033[0:1;32m\002>>> \001\033[0m\002'
       sys.ps2 = '\001\033[0:31m\002... \001\033[0m\002'
