Getting started

[Jive Dadson]

Okay, easy question:  How do I write a Python module and load it into
the interactive console application?  MS Windows.  For example, if I put
the script in a directory called, 'D:\\my python hacking', how do I tell
the interactive console window I want to load the module 'hacking.py'
from that directory?

BTW, I tried putting setting a MS Windows system variable PYTHONSTARTUP
to "print 'Hello, world.'", but it had no effect.
