Hello, people. Here is a strange problem with `from __future__ import',
maybe you can help me understand it. This is with Python 2.2.1.
Given `export PYTHONSTARTUP=/home/pinard/etc/pythonrc', and that `pythonrc'
file starting with:
---------------------------------------------------------------------->
from __future__ import division
print 3/4
----------------------------------------------------------------------<
then I interactively get:
---------------------------------------------------------------------->

>>> 3/4

>>> from __future__ import division
>>> 3/4

I wonder why I have to re-execute `from __future__ import divsion'
interactively before it works. How should I proceed to activate this
option once and for all for interactive applications?
