"""Hook to allow user-specified customization code to run.
3
As a policy, Python doesn't run user-specified code on startup of
4
Python programs (interactive sessions execute the script specified in
5
the PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable if it exists).
7
However, some programs or sites may find it convenient to allow users
8
to have a standard customization file, which gets run when a program
9
requests it. This module implements such a mechanism. A program
10
that wishes to use the mechanism must execute the statement
14
The user module looks for a file .pythonrc.py in the user's home
15
directory and if it can be opened, execfile()s it in its own global
16
namespace. Errors during this phase are not caught; that's up to the
17
program that imports the user module, if it wishes.
19
The user's .pythonrc.py could conceivably test for sys.version if it
20
wishes to do different things depending on the Python version.
