title: Auto-load a module on python startup
body: <p>I want IPython or the Python interpreter to auto-load a module when I start them.  </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible?  </p>
  
  <p>For example when I start IPython:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ipython
  
  ...
  
  &gt;&gt;&gt; from __future__ import division
  &gt;&gt;&gt; from mymodule import *
  
  In [1]:
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Something like <a href="http://docs.sympy.org/latest/tutorial/index.html#tutorial" rel="noreferrer">SymPy's live shell</a> found in the tutorial pages.</p>
