remote_api_shell and PYTHONSTARTUP

[Owen Strain]

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out a way to run a few statements automatically whenever I start the remote (or local) api shell. My goal is just to import some commonly-used stuff to save typing the import statements each time.

I was hoping I could set the standard PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable to point to a file of startup commands, but that doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone else figured out a way to do this?

Thanks,

Hi Owen,

Why not just take a copy of remote_api_shell.py (it's very straightforward) and modify it as needed?

Hi

I would take Nick's advice. I have seriously hacked up remote api shell for my own purposes.

Even going as far as using it inside Zope to seamlessly access both zope object store and 

the google datastore are the same time.
