Pythonwin startup script

Hi,

I'm at work now and cannot remember how I selected a python script to run when I open Pythonwin. The purpose is simply to import arcpy modules and python modules. Through my training I learned how to do it in Windows by choosing the script path within the properties of the program somewhere. I am unable to locate the resource I used, but think that it is somewhere in a book or webpage closeby. My other thinking is that I have to set an environment variable or something to that effect.

Does anyone know the process for selecting a python script to run at the startup of PythonWin?

Thanks,

Richard

I believe you're thinking of PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable. If you point this system environment to a .py file, it will run the .py for any interactive prompt (PythonWin or otherwise).
