[FIXED] Auto-load a module on python startup

Issue

I want IPython or the Python interpreter to auto-load a module when I start them.

Is it possible?

For example when I start IPython:

$ ipython

...

>>> from __future__ import division
>>> from mymodule import *

Something like SymPy's live shell found in the tutorial pages.

Solution

Check the file ~/.ipython/ipythonrc - you can list all modules you want to load at the startup.
