I did this by using python's "-i" option. Under Unix/Linux environment,
you can set up a script like this:

- ------------ cut - cut - cut -----------
#!/usr/bin/python -i

# init interactive session

import someutils
someutils.init()

import sys

from blah.blaaah.blah import *

print "Hello there"

# Now it's ready and shows you a prompt, so you can abuse it freely ;)

- ----------- paste - paste - paste ---------

It should be possible to write similar script under any other sufficiently
developed OS. After executing a script, you are presented a prompt from
properly (i.e. the way you want it) initialised interpreter.
