Python interpretor auto-completion, history and readline supports
By looking at openSUSE, its python interpretor environment supports auto-completion, history and readline features etc...
which are very common and useful to python developers, with these, you don't have to install ipython to support these basic features.
the solutions is sample
there is a very sample way to address this idea.
1) just have a pythonstart script in /etc/ somewhere like /etc/python/ , you can download the file which is from openSUSE from http://
2) set PYTHONSTART environment variable somewhere like /etc/bash.bashrc to point to pythonstart script, or place a executable bash script in /etc/profile.d/ which export PYTHONSTART variable.

Why not use iPython [http://
* Hi, As I have explained, it is a very simple script that can enhance these important, useful and common features, then why we have to install another package to support this? Also, many users would like to run original python interpreter rather than install extra packages to achieve this goal. (think about what most of users start their python interpreter? just run 'python' in shell)
Is anyone looking at this? Thanks a lot!
