I have a small change (shown below) to PyShell.py in idlelib that causes the subprocess interpreter to read IDLESTARTUP or PYTHONSTARTUP each time it restarts. To me this would make IDLE much more useful for myself and students I teach. It isn't quite clear what behavior to install with the enabling patch, so I would like some feedback before submitting it.

You haven't received any feedback so far, so I recommend going ahead and submitting the patch to ensure that it doesn't get lost.
