If you set a PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable then Python will run
the script it points to at startup of interactive sessions.

But I wonder if maybe some numpy-specific startup script would be
good.   My current PYTHONSTARTUP is importing numpy, just so I can
define some numpy shortcuts for my interactive sessions.  That's fine
if you always use Numpy in your interactive sessions, but if not, then
it's just dead weight.
