It depends on the shell that you use but if you use bash then you
can add a line to your .bash_profile or .bashrc file.

Which is best depends on whether you want it to run everytime
you login to your account (eg su from root) or only when you first
login etc. A full explanation can be found here:

Different shells use different startup files.

This is more about Linux than Python.
To run the python script just add a line like:

python abc.py

in whichever file you decide is most appropriate.
