Just use "push".

Here's how I did a similar automatic import in that same program:
        win = py.shell.Shell(self.window, -1,
                            introText = tr.INTERPRETER_INTRO_TEXT)
        cmd = "from __future__ import division"   # so that 1/2 = 0.5
[irrelevant stuff deleted]
        win.push(cmd)

HTH,

André
