Maybe not.
You mentioned using pythonwin...
ISTR Pythonwin implements its own interactive mode. It doesn't use 
the Python one... If it doesn't read startup.py you'd see what you 
see - check the Pythonwin IDE docs. Also try IDLE to see if it 
reads startup.

Also I guess try starting Python from a DOS prompt to check it 
sees your startup - that should definitely work.
