I don't know about idle, but the "real" python supports the PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable.
I just tried it - IDLE ignores PYTHONSTARTUP, as does PythonWin (I just started using PYTHONSTARTUP to switch the standard prompt from '>>>' to "Py>').
I believe PYTHONSTARTUP is handled by CPython's main function before it gets to the interactive interpreter.
Cheers, Nick.
From the Fine Manual: Command line usage idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-e] [-s] [-t title] [arg] ...
-c command run this command -d enable debugger -e edit mode; arguments are files to be edited -s run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP first -t title set title of shell window
On Windows, it is likely to be idle.pyw. So, add a -s to the command line used in the shortcut to start Idle.
Anyone know if there is a similar option to PythonWin? I looked around a bit, but couldn't find one...
