IDLE doesn't rerun PYTHONSTARTUP on restart

[Gary Feldman]

I do some setup with a .pythonrc file executed via the PYTHONSTARTUP
environment variable (on MS Windows). This works fine when I first start
IDLE (contrary to some notes in the archives that indicate I need to use
IDLESTARTUP instead). However, when I restart the shell, it isn't run.

Are there any workarounds for this?

Thanks,
Gary
